Fully remote 22-year-old's mother doesn't believe he's employed, so he gets an in-person job overseas to spite her: 'All of this because my last straw was forcing me to send out job applications'

Some people face so much unnecessary pressure from their overbearing parents that the minute they can get out from under their grasp, they run for the hills.

That's certainly the case for this 22-year-old, who was given the sole responsibility of being his mother's caretaker. He even went so far as to secure a fully remote position at a company so that he could be physically present to watch her 24/7 should something go wrong. 

Well, it turns out that his mother was ungrateful for his presence and even suspected that he was lying about his job. It seems like she was unable to grasp the concept of fully remote work, so she went ahead and submitted resumes for her son without his approval to various jobs in the service industry.

No matter how hard this guy tried to convince his mother that he did, in fact, have a job, she didn't trust him. So, he interpreted her ingratitude for his decision to be near her as justification to begin looking for in-person work elsewhere. Eventually, he found the perfect opportunity for himself, one that would take him across the continent.
