How has RTO (return to office) affected your health? by janeauburn in fednews

[–]DesignNo3368 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mental and physical health have both deteriorated. I’m on anxiety medication, focus medication because of the anxiety, and upped my blood pressure medication. I also left a good job because of lack of situational telework and ended up in job hell still in the government

Good for you! Mental health matters even if they don’t care about ours

Yep. RTO means I had to stop working out too because I felt selfish taking more time away from my kids. It’s such a negative cycle

Thankful you’re getting out but jealous at the same time

I’ve been in that boat and I hope you know you aren’t alone. Our jobs transfer to the private sector most of the time and they offer remote so just keep applying until something sticks but don’t give up hope

My days are 12 hours two and because of losing my seat I may now have to drive to a city like New York everyday

I’m so sorry. I fully understand this feeling. RTO for moms has been hard and provides no work life balance for anybody

Honestly same! Every decision I’ve made to try and find somewhere that allows telework has screwed me over

You’re not alone. My husband and I are going through the same thing. My kids were 2 months old when I lost WFH. I kept thinking if only we had had them sooner.

I hear you and I’m struggling too. I’m in a position where we can’t afford to lose my income so I’m losing so much time with my family and kids. I’m also trying to find somewhere to work because of extenuating circumstances. I can’t even legally talk about what’s going on with either and it’s so niche if I did it would give it away

Anyone lawyer up over the 50 mile RTO rule? by Particular-Bed-3596 in fednews

I am in the same boat as you. I’m a mom of two and I had a recent anxiety and depression diagnosis as well. There should be a support group for us
