I once faced a situation where a relocation clause came up after a very short time in a new role. After putting in effort to settle and adjust, the timeline did not even allow a fair evaluation of my performance. It made me realize how important it is to carefully review contracts and document everything from the start. Have you ever had to deal with a contract clause that felt unfair despite being legally valid?

This is particularly true with remote employees and their employers trying to mandate they return to office. Make sure your hiring agreement specifically states that you are a remote employee and the travel clause (if there is one) is reasonable to you, otherwise they might force you to come into the office even if you live 3 states away.

Thank you for the great advise. I'd love the travel clause you stated

Hey guys… I’m a case worker in child safety and I’m someone who loves being outdoors/dies at a desk all day. I’m hoping to organise that at least once a week I can go to a cafe and catch up on all my case notes that need to go into the system.
So far the only reason I’ve been told no is that “if you do then everyone will want to and then no one will be in the office” … how can I convince them that I work better out of the office and get this freedom & mental break for myself?
