    Yup! That’s the bullshit part and what really grinds my gears when people say we’re just whining. I have 0 problem going to an office that I was assigned at my date of hire. What I have a problem with is 1) retroactively assigning offices to remote designated employees and 2) forcibly relocating people across the country for zero reason. They’re actively uprooting entire families and fucking so many people over.

    I’m fortunate enough to have gotten another job before it impacted me thanks to referrals from friends, but not everyone is as fortunate.

      Yes, that is 100% weapons-grade bullshit. Hopefully as a result of all of this, people start insisting on having their remote status written into their contracts, with steep penalties for breaches. Fool me once, shame on you, etc.

      Congrats on the new job. I hope things go better for you from now on. At least that AWS experience will provide some nice career capital to make up for your poor treatment.

        Thank you! I’m already getting some great use out of it as my new company hired me largely because of my AWS experience. I also learned a ton there thanks to my exceptionally brilliant team so I can’t say I regret my time there even if it was stressful.
