I've been with my current company for 11 years, have been wfh since March of 2020, going into the office 1-2 days max (sometimes none at all) and currently get a half day off every Friday. Management has been very understandable that i don't want to move into any kind of manager position and that i want to do what I currently do, for a good while.
We are merging with this company by 4/1 and they're are only offering a 9/80 schedule and only allow 1 wfh day per week. I'm really dreading the commute, spending extra $ in gas and tolls, having to work a full 4 days in the office, but most importantly how this company handles professional development. I got my letter stating that my employment will continue last week; I still don't know exactly what I will be doing once we move over. A very frustrating time and transition (don't get me wrong, very thankful I have a job but it's just not being handled well imo). Rant over.
