Has anyone convinced their employer to allow them to either work remotely or open a satellite office in another state? Itching to move out of NYC, really growing tired of this state

My manager was cautious at first but I told him how cutting commuting would boost productivity and lessen stress for me. We did a trial period of 90 days and once they saw I could perform well at home they never said anything after that. Sometimes they just need to see that you are still at a high level even remotely.

Thats a good approach, I’m planning on exceeding targets as much as possible to see if I can have any leverage. For me, I don’t mind working in office, just trying to get out of the state

I did it! I laid out a plan, showed my performance metrics, and suggested trial check-ins. They said yes and it changed my life. Totally worth asking.

When I worked at a place in Kansas I was moving to Iowa and we didn't have the ability to work from home. I talked to my boss and ended up piloting the work from home program there because they didn’t' want to lose me. I would definitely suggest asking if I were you.
