re: If your company makes working from home permanent, would you move somewhere else?

I think that a lot of companies are starting to see, While most people are working from home, that there are some jobs to where people do not have to report to the office. They will view these positions expendable and will move them overseas. My company has started doing this with payroll and some HR jobs and changes will take affect next week. Depending on your job and level of importance, don’t be so excited about working from home.

Back in April and early May they stressed the importance of us working from home as much as possible because they didn’t want managers catching Covid. For 2 weeks I worked from home 1 day a week and the rest of the week I spent almost zero time in the market until I was board out of my mind. When I got back in the market it was mass chaos everywhere. The team knew I wasn’t around as much and took advantage of the freedom. I said never again unless it’s an all day zoom call which we do every 4 weeks.
