IBM fucking around. Let's see if they find out.
They will.
I joined a company about eighteen months ago and was hired as fully remote. Advancement etc will depend on remaining so. Company looks good on my resume, and there’s no fucking way I’m moving to DFW in this political climate.
Might consider the MI office, big only as hybrid. We are settled comfortably currently. I’d be ok with driving wed night to be there thurs and fri, and make the entire trip at my leisure.
It you better believe there’s going to be a huge carrot in it for me if that comes to pass.
I don’t even have a reason to hate the MI town the company considers an office hub. For the right job I’d even consider moving, but SO has veto on that which I respect.
Not that MI sucks entirely. There just isn’t much there for us and it increases the drive to fam for holidays hy 4 hours or so.
Not averse to hybrid, could sort it out easily enough, but key is that it would be a new position or promotion.
Got the paperwork that says I’m perm remote and would happily go to bat with said paperwork, esp for the right job. Just bc the internal positions says DFW, does not mean I can’t do 3-4 days here in Kettlecorn, Ks, and another day or two at the actual office.
But - apologies to Barbara mandrel - I was remote when remote wasn’t cool.
Nobody is taking that away from me. Circa 2014 I learned how to be remote, for context, and executed well.
If hiring mgr doesn’t want to give a little on “mandatory” on office days, I’m out.
Checking in with a disability that benefits greatly from remote work, and all the paperwork on place. Just try and mandate “RTO” and see what happens.
