quote:If it were me, I would schedule a meeting with my boss and say pretty much exactly what you said here. I'd emphasize that the company had mentioned the possibility of an in between location, and I'd just straight up talk to him about it and see if yall can work something out. If he's not a complete cock sucker, he's going to understand.
I really like my job. My career has done well, and I've taken a promotion to a great position within my company. I like where our company is heading, the salary and benefits are great, but my new office is 75-mile (roughly 1:30) from my house. I worked at a closer location (24-miles) for a few years before being promoted to the main office.
When they first discussed it with me, they had talked about me working at an 'in-between' location a few days a week. Then it turned into full-time at the office. And I travel. So between the commuting when I'm. It traveling and the travel, its killing me on a family-level. Personally, we just had our first child right when this transition started. So I didn't fully know how it was going to affect me.
Anyway, I'm trying to come up with a method to bring this up to my boss and see if there is something that we could live with. All of my work can be done remotely. There is no reason for me to be sitting in an office.
