I was hired to be a fully remote employee 4 years ago and now there’s been a shift to come back to the office / be on site for clients per their request. I recently moved 4 hours away from my home office for my boyfriend’s job (I went through HR, etc.).

Update: I went to HR and now I have housing.

Hi Fishes,

Is there a minimum tenure that one has to serve in ZS to ask for office transfers? (within India)

And how often do they get accepted and the general sentiment by the management when one asks for it?

Assuming that my team works from Pune (and i like the job scope) but would like to relocate to Bangalore office (hometown) once the team stabilizes and processes are in place.

Would love to talk with you on DMs if you have any experience similar to this.

TIA!
