Remote Work Employer Relocation Issue

I have been successfully working remotely for a CT employer for a year and a half from MA. I travel throughout the country about 25% of the time for this role and have only gone into the CT office a total of six times.

We are equal earners so it seems it is best for him to take the KS job and us to relocate to a lower cost of living area. I am extremely frustrated to have to choose between my family and my career, especially as a woman, when I have received nothing but praise regarding my work performance. My employer allows remote employment in high burden states such as CA…


I have been successfully working remotely for a CT employer for a year and a half from MA.

We are equal earners so it seems it is best for him to take the KS job and us to relocate to a lower cost of living area. I am extremely frustrated to have to choose between my family and my career, especially as a woman, when I have received nothing but praise regarding my work performance. My employer allows remote employment in high burden states such as CA and NY. Any advice on this situation is appreciated.
