Are remote jobs ever truly remote?

I mean, I live in a whole other state than my employer/job location. I travel there occasionally, partially for training and orientation at the start, now as an opportunity to see the local folks and other remote folks since I would never have in-person time otherwise since we're all over. But I can also go anywhere and work, not just my house, as long as I have solid internet and I stay on normal hours/fill in with PTO when I want to be free (ex: did a Las Vegas workcation earlier this year and started work at 5am PT to match my 8am ET, then stopped at 9/noon for a half day off at home, but full day of vacation)

Interesting. I don't know anyone who is WFH that has that sort of restriction, so it may be more common in some industries than others.

In a word, yes.

Hi,
I have an offer with Citi, initially it was hybrid model and looks like they are moving back to wfo.. they told only now and I dont have any other offer in hand. due to personal constraints I need wfh or some flexibility types, but they seem a bit rigid as its not in their policy..
Is it good to join and then try pushing them for wfh.. or search for another offer..? 16 yoe, PM...

Hi Friends,
Me and my girlfriend both live in the same city, working from home, living with our respective families.

Before covid and wfh, we were in gurgaon and we used to go to each other's places to have some "private time"

It looks like a distant luxury now.
Any ideas of what can be done? Anyone facing a similar issue who got any resolution?
