[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why people used to live close in. Now they want to live way outside the beltway and also keep a downtown job. It’s a choice.[/quote]

I live close in. My assigned office for the fully remote job I was hired into is way out. But please, keep talking. [/quote]

[b]NP.  It was not realistic think a fully remote job was a forever thing.  [/b]Sorry, it stinks having the change up.  
What did we do before??  I paid for before care, after care, an after school nanny once kid aged out of regular aftercare.   Brought my kid to the office on snow days where school was closed and work was not (or took an annual leave day those times, saved leave just for those occasions).

For real, why was this not realistic? I am not a Fed and work from where and when I want (though travel a ton). But I don't understand why in the age of distributed teams, videoconferencing, and relatively cost-effective travel it's unrealistic to think jobs could be fully remote.[/quote]

Plenty of jobs are remote, It is just not realistic to expect any single job to be permanently remote. I’ve been remote most of the last 15 years, but every employer I’ve had has made it clear they can change that at any time.

If the only thing you like about your job is that it is/was remote, I think you should find something you like more![/quote]

Your argument is akin to it’s not realistic to expect any job to permanently exist.  No shit.  Explain why it makes sense to arbitrarily decide that a job that has been done well remotely should suddenly no longer be remote.  [/quote]
