I’m still remote. The company forced everyone to go back 3 days a week, but it was too big of a pain for me with child care being an issue (3 year old and 5 year old). So I applied for permanent WFH and they are sitting on my application. The CTO told me that the heads of the company are not giving permanent WFH for anyone without a medical reason. He did say that he would extend my return to office date until next year, though, so at least by then my 3 year-old will be in preschool.
All in all I’m considering leaving for a permanent WFH position. The work-life balance is just way better when you have small kids.
That’s actually really good thing. In the U.S. not wanting to kill trans people makes you a “far left” person according to right-wingers. real “far left” people are pretty nuts, man. The vast majority of us are moderates who are now labeled as “far left” in the U.S. political discourse.
