Was the agreement WFH though? Was it actually written into their contract? Or was this just something they informally agreed to while it was difficult to hire staff?

I’m not saying changing policy against your employees wishes is a good thing but if your acceptance of a job is predicated on the condition of being fully remote then you’d want to be damn sure that is written into your contract. And if it is, then your employer cannot change those terms without issuing you a new contract.

Also I know plenty of people who haven’t changed jobs in the last 3 years.



As you know, contracts are not a thing for the overwhelming majority of workers in the US, and particularly software developers.


I wasn’t aware of that. Here in Europe, we have very strict employment laws.

I knew your employment laws were lax but all the conversations I’ve read on here have suggested that US employees still had contracts.
