I'm so glad I work for a remote company that states in my employment contract my job is a remote job (or at least, it doesn't specify in-office requirements), so if they ever try to force me to relocate, it would be considered a constructive dismissal and then I get to collect unemployment benefits until I find a new job. That probably won't happen though cause we have people working all across the country. Though, this isn't in USA so maybe things are different there.
Of course, always get your contracts reviewed by an employment lawyer.
Right to work states have lower incomes, workers who fall for it have been scammed and those laws need to be removed
I just realized today that if Capitol Hill gets its way and bans encryption, then all remote work that depends on encrypted VPNs will no longer be available. I wonder if that's the point, since the billionaire commercial property owners are losing $800B annually due to remote work changes.
Suddenly I'm even more glad I don't live in the USA, jeez. Things seem to be getting worse and worse there.
