I’m in the final stages for a role that was advertised as hybrid, but the offer letter just came through saying 5 days in-office is mandatory. When I questioned it, they said the policy changed literally this morning for all new hires. I’m an hour away and that commute will kill me. Is anyone seeing firms actually negotiate on RTO?

Not likely to happen, but you might as well try. If they refuse to accommodate, bail. Two hours in the car each day will have you hating your life fast.

If an organization is playing games like that you need to walk away. Most companies are now requiring people to be in the office, so advertising it as hybrid may have been a deliberate bait and switch. And the answer that they changed the policy that morning is too clever by half. Keep looking elsewhere.

Ugh, that’s frustrating and I’d feel the same way. Advertising hybrid and then flipping to five days in office at the offer stage is a tough pill to swallow, especially with an hour commute. I’ve seen some firms bend when candidates push back thoughtfully, but more firms seem to hold the line no matter what. Either way, it’s completely fair to pause and reassess!

That is super frustrating. Remote jobs are getting rarer and rarer.

Bait and switch. Nah.

Anyone here with experience as a Product Manager? I’ve close to decade of consumer lending experience including Sales/Advisory, Supervisor and Underwriting.

I will be grateful if anybody willing to share what the day role looks like and what I need to look out for in an interview. Thanks. Cheers.

I have a contact who is a hiring mgr at a company I want to work for. He told me he has an open role for me and set me up with 6 interviews over a 2 week period. They all went really well and HR said I’ll most likely be moving forward to a site visit. But now my contact has ghosted me. After I made 3 outreaches he had his aa schedule time for two weeks out. Why am I being iced?
