Hello. Need advice. I work in San Diego and am from Lubbock. I come from a Indian family, I have been on my own for 4 years now, but ever since work from home started, family has been wanting me to work from Texas. I moved back last April. I am used to being on my own but every time I mention about it, they say that family is important and want me to stay. It’s really making word hard because I don’t like to start my day at 11 am ct instead of 9am pst. Would rather be in Cali. What should I do?

I'd recommend moving back to CA.

Yes family is important but so is your personal mental and physical health.

It’s probably hard for a young single person to have fun in Lubbock. I feel for ya! Just tell them that you need to go to office once in a while and you need to be in SD to be able to do that.

Number one reason for therapist is your time with parents!! Love them but it’s true.

You can blame your employer and all the tax implications of working in a different state. Stay in San Diego and have the space for yourself. Make the weekend trips every once in a while or a week off.

Well I’ve family in east coast and I insist on staying in SD, even when there was lockdown, because I can’t do cold weather and as much as I love my family, I believe a little distance does make heart grow fonder. I do visit them at least a couple of times every year for quiet a few weeks.

11am CT is 9 am pst no? I don't follow that part

I think they mean getting up at 7am CT.

Just lie and say you need to go back into work since you got a new role assigned or something.

Hi, I'm an employee at a hotel chain who works remotely. I've been working remotely for over a year now and I love it! The company I work for is very supportive of remote workers, which is great.

But there's one thing that's been bothering me: it's hard to get feedback on my work when I'm not in the office. It would be great if there was some kind of system that let me know how my performance was being evaluated while I'm working on projects from home.
