Has anyone changed jobs recently because your current job has no remote/work from home flexibility? My company has forced everyone in every department to come in 5x a week. A lot of people quit because of it, and I want to leave as well. It’s been taking a toll on my mental health. I have two interviews this week, including one today and they’re both fully remote. I feel like internally it’s not enough of a reason to leave, any tips or words of affirmation? I dread going in everyday.

Any firm not willing to offer some type of hybrid role is not worthy, my opinion of course. There are plenty of firms offering this and total remote. Come over to PwC we have 100% remote or hybrid pick your choice.

See I feel like having to work from home all the time — and having everyone else working from home all the time and so sending emails at various and odd hours — is what’s been bad for my mental health.

I don’t like knowing that there are things pending and continuing to accumulate. I liked it better when it was pencils down and radio silence across the board by 6pm.

It’s more than enough reason! Anything that takes a toll on your mental health is actually not worth sticking through.

And the sooner you prioritize your health over appearances or whatever you think “should” happen, the sooner you can create the life that fits you best. You’ve got this!

Any company who has such a rigid policy and does nothing to counter the resignations is a company you shouldn’t work for.

Now that I have a kid the value of remote went up so much for me. My current role doesn’t give me an opportunity to be 100% remote but that just means I’ll be looking for a new job in a few months.

Go remote! Your reasoning is enough, believe in that you want to be happier.

I left an agency recently bc they were planning to return and our office has NO windows (just roof windows). Like a miserable jail going in. Pay to park.

I’m down for work trips and retreats which my remote employer paid for but never want in office or hybrid again. Set strict boundaries on when to log off, I eventually got used to it so work only happens during biz hours.
