A couple years ago, she sold her house in AZ, moved up to a condo in the PNW and then COVID hit. She found a job doing medical records that was 100% remote. Was a good thing for her and since she is getting older (mid 60s) it fit in perfectly with her plans. She is going to work a few extra years to get the most out of Social Security and then retire. She isn't in the greatest health anymore, so COVID is a legit concern for her.
Welp, a couple employees at her company quit and her boss informed her she'd have to drive into the office several days a week. This is downtown Portland. So my mom put in her notice and her boss asked her to stay on into March to get new people trained. Fair enough, am I still working 100% remote into March? No? Then no I'm not staying.
Nothing crazy, no shady dealings. Just proud of her.
