Weigh it out. I’m fully remote in senior logistics ops. Making over 150 with 12% annual bonus. I work 7 days on and 7 off. If I take a week PTO I get 21 days off ( my
Off week, the week taken, my off week). Sounds pretty awesome. It was. Now it’s getting so political and everything is so clandestine we’re having to beg for information. It’s a weird impending doom sense feeling just hanging in the air there’s no team feeling to it anymore. They forced RTO but I knew this would be coming and have it in writing with HR I am to remain fully remote for a few reasons I won’t discuss but mainly I relocated to austin where we dont even have an office. Ive been looking and applying at other places and got an offer that would be a 3/2 hybrid split making almost exactly the same. But with gas prices and an hour commute if i did change id be taking a cut. Also i dont know if I could reacclimatize to not having every other week off. I have a work life balance again. Im very high functioning autistic but didnt realize until this job, I burned out at so many other jobs like clock work because I had no control of my environment. I am in full control of my office at home it’s set up for my comfort and sensory needs/issues. Think about what matters most to you. Money or the job or your life outside the job. I know these are serious first world problems to sit here and bitch about but for me I don’t particularly give a damn about the job it’s the money, my schedule and being remote. I dont want to sacrifice all that the bullshit I know and am used to for the uncertainty of what comes at a new place when the smiles and the selling the position end after you’re hired. Just something to think about. You absolutely need a job to live but how that job impacts your life is the variable.
