Anyone else fully remote but watching their company slowly sneak RTO back in? We went from "fully remote forever" to "we encourage you to come in Thursdays" to mandatory Tuesday/Thursday in the office. Classic bait and switch.
My company knew I relocated to Nashville when they announced permanent remote work in 2022. They signed off on it. My manager knew. HR knew. I bought a house here. My partner found a job here. Our whole life rebuilt itself around something that, looking back, was never actually a written promise…
My company wants us back five days a week starting in August. The quiet panic in every Slack channel right now is palpable. People built their entire lives around flexibility and now that's being taken back. It's not going to go smoothly.
