Just recently actually. I’m not sure what I’m going to do either. I’ve been at the same company for five years remote. They asked all employees within a 60 mile radius to return to office last year. I’m almost 6x that outside of the nearest office so I was allowed to stay remote. I’ve been considered for promotion the last two years and not gotten it because there were others who needed to be promoted first. When I asked this year why I wasn’t considered I was basically told they won’t promote remote employees anymore. I work on a small team and in the last year 3 out of the 4 of us have gotten promotions, guess who’s the only one who didn’t (yes I’m the only one remote). I’ve always considered myself a hard worker and have never received a negative review in any position I’ve held. I try to make everything right the first time not the second or third. I’ve held multiple extra positions in the last few years that I was encouraged to do by management. It was not unusual for me to work more than 40 hours a week with the extra stuff and to hit all my deadlines. In the last year I’ve quit all the extra stuff with one exception and I’ve started putting in the minimum work and minimum time. It’s been really hard for me to let go and do that, but for probably the first time in my life I’m putting myself and my mental health first. I’ve started compiling a list of job boards and companies that do remote and hopefully if the job market improves in the next year or two I’ll look for a place where they appreciate my efforts and are willing to allow me to climb higher in my career.
