12. We were told a few weeks ago we're going to a hybrid model.

Three days in the office, two days at home. My team has worked remotely since early 2018, but the scumbag vice president we report to has a sad about people not working in the office so they're reeling us in.

Really sucks because the office is over an hour away and it's $30/day round trip to take the bus. As a result I have to find a new job. I can't afford $360/month just to get to work, and they made it very clear they're not interested in compromise. I feel like I wasted the last five years of my life since they're so casual about throwing us away if we can't manage three days in the office.
