I don’t have family in the city that I live in and feel isolated, but I love my job. Should I move to a different state to be with family and risk it at a new job or try to make it work in my current city and keep the job that I love? I asked, and remote work is not possible at the current company.

Have you made any friends or gone out to do hobbies in the city you’re in currently? If the pay and job are right for the city you’re in, then maybe some more socialization is what you need. And then you can still travel back to see family on a regular basis if you want.

I was in the same situation a few yrs ago and decided to move back home to be close to family. Big mistake ever lol I know it is hard to make friends and be social but I wished I had tried before moving. Now Im trying to move out of ny hometown again 🤣

Trust me. You still need to make friends even after you moved closer to family. Family drama is a different level and you need friends to balance it 🙂

While most teachers are protected by teacher unions, I feel my voice hasn’t been heard at all with my concerns of going back to school next week.

Every other school that I know of in my state is either choosing remote learning to start the year or a hybrid approach, yet that was not an option for us. Are other Catholic schools I. The same boat? Stay safe!

I don't want to have to go to an office with coworkers, but I do feel like I'd be more productive getting out of home office a couple of days per week.

Feel the same?
