Started a new role where I can WFH for 2022 but then in Jan 2023 the company want me to move to TN where their office is (this was put into offer letter) even though they’re hybrid. My accounts are all over US. I’m not sure if I will be able to move TN b/c my BF is graduating with his MS in Ocean Engineering, he can’t find a job in TN & got offers for jobs in FL where we currently live. I was thinking of talking to my mgr in Dec about my situation and asking if I can continue to WFH. Thoughts?

Is it too much to ask a home health company for someone to shadow/orient? I was just hired PRN and that was something I asked for during the hiring process and the recruiter agreed. Never heard back and it’s been several weeks yet keep getting texts from the schedule if office to see patients. Is this typical for home health or a red flag? I have only worked in SNF and acute so I am new to HH plus this company specializes in lymphedema therapy. I am a CLT but want just a little but of training.
