Antiwork

I quit my previous fully remote job for my new “remote” job that pays more. They said training is in office and then its remote. They lied.

It was said multiple times during the interview process that training is 3 months long. They emphasized many times that it’d probably take me less than 3 months to train since I have experience in the field. Remote is important to me because I have UC, autoimmune disease that sucks really bad. Its almost impossible to work anywhere besides my home office. I agreed because higher pay would be nice. I am 2 months into “training” and it has been hell working in office with UC. The training finished within the first month. I’ve just been working… So I figured I’d ask if it’s possible to work from home now… granted, I am not even training. It is also worth mentioning its a two hour commute daily.

I am 2 months into “training” and it has been hell working in office with UC. The training finished within the first month. I’ve just been working… So I figured I’d ask if it’s possible to work from home now… granted, I am not even training.

It is also worth mentioning its a two hour commute daily.

On top of struggling physically with UC and not being able to manage it as I can at home, its also been effecting my work performance. I’m not completing as much assignments as I would without this disease being the forefront of my worries at work.

I was told the transition happens after I start meeting the quota. And that it could take longer than 3 months. This was never mentioned during the interview process at all.

I advised that I’d be able to do this at home and probably meet quota since I have proper accommodations for my UC, at home.

But apparently that’s just the rules.

I’m now looking for remote work again. I cannot wait to give my resignation letter.

Edit:
Adding this:

Its also worth mentioning that if I wanted a non remote office job, I could have been working somewhere that pays a lot more than here. I had offers. But I needed something remote
