    When is the difference between “living anywhere in the country” and “living where we tell you, plebe”, so you’re within commute range, is also huge.

    My office is 10 hours away, on paper. They have no space, they have no desk, they have no workstation gear, but my agreement says they can recall any of us at any time - even those who are 4 timezones away - and we either commute or we quit. We all still took the job and filled up on the hopium.

      Yeah, it would feel like a sword of Damocles hanging over you.

      I’d probably only do that if I had a solid contingency plan in place.

      It doesn’t even have to be in the same country. Could be anywhere in the EU or maybe even third countries, I don’t know, I haven’t worked internationally in that way.
