As a fully remote employee, how should I approach telling my team that I am moving? A bit of background: my fiancé has a permanent job in another state so this has been a long time coming. During the first half of COVID he was able to live with me but now he has to be in-person and I don’t. Lease is ending and I am planning to move to his state. I previously visited him for a month without saying anything but I billed my time to his state. No one noticed. I have to say something now, right?

You need to talk to your HR and manager to make sure they can pay you in that state and update your work location accordingly. Telling the rest of your team is optional imo.

I hear you. They will need to have your accurate home address for employee records and communications. I’d start with HR and I guarantee you are not the only one they’re having to answer this for right now. 💫

I joined a specific office but was remote the entire time. Then decided to move to another state to be close to family. Spoke with my manager and he was supportive of my move. Changed my address. Then Talent requested an e-mail approval from my manager, PPM and coach. Since my manager knew ahead of time, when I reached out needing the email he just emailed them and cc’d me. My transfer took two weeks and everything’s been peachy. I’d imagine your firm would be similar.

I would . Be transparent- you would want the same from your employer

Yea. I agree. In the process of disclosing.

If you’re at pwc, just tell your Talent consultant and RL. They’ll probably have you update workday. Your salary will be updated to the salary for your new city. This shouldn’t be an issue for you if you tell them. If you don’t tell them and they find out (and they probably will) it will be an issue for you

Not at PwC anymore (thank god). I told my RL at my new place and he seems to think it won’t be a problem bc they would rather accommodate me than have me quit. Next step is to tell the MD for my office. Hopefully it goes well. 🤞🏻
