Employee Considers Job Change After Remote Role Shifts to Hybrid with Long Commute
A marketing specialist with five years of experience shared that their company shifted from a fully remote role to a hybrid model requiring a 115 km daily commute twice a week. This change, along with unclear appraisal processes, led the employee to consider switching jobs. They sought advice online on whether the long commute was a valid reason to mention in interviews. After attending an interview for a fully remote position, the employee cited layoffs and the commute as reasons for seeking new opportunities.
