During the panny, my agency moved a handful of us to a different office with no choice. Basically said we’d be fired if we didn’t comply. When we asked if we would ever have to move to the new city, we were given no answers for months. Now, they’re saying back to office in September and I have a feeling they’ll be expecting us to move. Should I ask for money to move? I personally can’t afford to and told them from the start I can’t move. Also, I really don’t want to leave my S/O. Help!

Relo seems like a reasonable ask

I would definitely ask them about paying for relocation. But, also very odd that they asked you to move to a new office during remote work and didn’t clarify expectations when you have to physically go back to the office. Honestly, would just start looking for a new job in the city you work in, if you want to stay with your S/O. Market is a bit nuts right now and there seem to be a lot of open roles everywhere!

Yes! Been looking and interviewing but no offers yet. Thanks for the advice :)

Quit. Hopefully more will do the same. That way we’ll gain traction and give agencies no choice but to accept remote work

“The panny?”

funnyuplifting

they moved you unwillingly? and you’re considering leaving a s/o to uproot your life in a way you can’t afford to keep working there?

i’m surprised you didn’t start looking for another job at step one of that series.

So moving and leaving a S/O is a better scenario? I just came off a year of unemployment and finally got something. It may take OP more than 6 months to land something.

SIDE NOTE: obviously I have been looking for other jobs. It’s not that easy and I’ve been interviewing nonstop. No bites :(

After you are stealth laid off, other than job search, what do you do? I assume they won’t give you work and even if they do, you can politely decline?
