I have got an offer for a remote position. Company has made it look like they are approving remote as per my request. They have mentioned - "as per your request, we are approving remote working .."
Whole offer letter is driven like company is considering my request, so there will not be any reimbursement for home office, internet . I may need to travel to office if required, again no mention of expense reimbursement.

Is it fair on company's part to mention like above? I didn't ask for remote.

Chances are the offer letter is a standard template. It’s on you to call out concerns that you have and get them corrected before signing.

In the future, whatever is on the offer letter paper will be considered “set in stone.” So make sure you get any confusion flushed out

Definitely this. You don't want to get caught with your pants down.

Ask for reimbursement clarification before signing

I don't like my job, the responsibilities and tasks aren't right for me or my lifestyle.

Key positives for my current employer are pay and security. But my new role within the company isn't working for me, and ultimately I don't think it is for the company either.

A much much smaller (20 people) company offered me a role.

With the global economic situation as is, is it worth the risk to change to a job I know i'd like more with less pay, and potentially less job security?

T.I.A.
