This worker shared their current predicament of being asked to work from a company office despite being hired as a fully remote worker. Some have been calling this a "bait and switch," and while it is arguable that something along those lines is happening, there seems to be more of an erosion of expectations happening here on both sides. There is at least some logical reasoning in this scenario in the line of the fact that the worker's circumstances changed to allow them access to a company office. Still, 30 minutes isn't nearly as close as it sounds and, at the very least, compensation for their new commute is in order.

Really, the worker's mistake was informing their employer that they were going to be moving house in the first place. They're remote, and since they moved to somewhere in the same, it wouldn't make a difference to the employer unless they were given a reason to think about it. Then, once the worker was asked to come in and help out at the company's location 30 minutes from their new home, their fate was sealed. The worker wouldn't have been able to decline without seeming to be difficult, and the employer now had no reason to doubt the worker's ability to come into an office location. As the proverb famously warns, give them an inch, and they'll take a mile.
