  I’m learning that the hard way. Started working for this company 2 hours from home,because I could WFH 3 days a week. Now they want me to come in 4 days a week. So I’m looking for a new job now. Which is a shame, because I do like the job.

    What does your contract say? With this back to work bullshit I made sure my contract explicitly said I was remote.

    Doesn’t mean they won’t change their mind but maybe I’ll get severance instead of fired for cause of they have a back to the office push.

      The term of art in employment law is “constructive dismissal”

      My dude, that’s exactly what I’m talking about. That’s me in fact.

      Even if I had a contract it wouldn’t matter as I live in a right to work state, they can fire me at any point without warning or cause.

      Having any real employment contract is NOT the norm here.

      Non office jobs are more likely to be unionized and this have a contract than office jobs.

      That’s the type of thing non W2 self employed contractors might have to lean back on, not rank and file full time employees.
