I graduated recently in a field that can definitely be done from home (engineering and drafting).
I saw people in the few classes ahead of me that had jobs before the pandemic or as the pandemic was starting get transitioned to work from home, and stay that way.
But now I see companies, that I know have their current employees on work from home, offering me in office work for all the nearly nonsensical reasons of wanting in office employees (usually just because they don’t like change or don’t want the office space to go to use).
Did I basically miss my chance? Was the only chance of landing a work from home job to be employed before or as the company transitioned to work from home? Are work from home positions only grandfathered in, and any new employee will have to deal with being an in office employee like before all this, while older employees get to continue to enjoy working from home?
