@Mittens_meow @Seagoon_ Given you live two hours away (is that by train or car?), are they willing to make an exception?
Car to train. Not sure that the Monash fwy would be faster, plus getting parking somewhere. Seems not negotiatble, message is being reinforced via multiple levels of upper management. Wondering if it’s an excuse to reduce head count without redundancies.
@Mittens_meow That's pretty horrendous. In a previous life, I was doing around 2.5- to 3-hours commute each day, and that was bad enough!
How are you enjoying the role otherwise? Are there any other issues?
I actually really like the role, it’s different and challenging and I love learning new stuff. It’s super disappointing that this has happened.
I was in this sort of situation and moved to an all remote job. As much as I liked the old place the lifestyle improvements and flexibility was worth it
