On our EY all hands call it sounded like travel was a minimum 3 months away and could even be 6 months. I also had an internal training in June canceled and said firm won’t consider anything in person until July (that was 2 weeks ago).

It might depend on state, but I think it could be easily until July.

Go home, you can always move back out later

This is what I did last month. When things open up I’ll have a pretty bad commute until I figure something but the thousands in savings it will net me in the meantime is worth it.

Agree withWith EY1; it could easily be July. If there is a dreaded “second wave”, it could be even longer.

Hello,
I'm looking to know what remote jobs are out there for nurses/ names of companies? I used to work in the OR and I'm also considering going back and just working 4-10s.

I'm an outpatient nurse currently but I don't get lunch breaks, and the work load keeps increasing with no mention of another nurse to help us.

When I was hired, I don't recall being informed about my salary being tied to my location. My employment contract also only makes one mention of location, and says "home office" and my state. I was recently told by HR though that if I move, my comp. will be lower. Is this legal? Should I consult a labor lawyer?

In my mind, I don't recall being told this and it's not clear from my employment contract, so I feel like they're breaking our agreement, and it feels unfair.
