Job tells remote employee he can't move to Minnesota from Florida without getting fired, only allows him to move to Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, or North Carolina: 'I already live somewhere not approved, as does my entire team.'

Working from home has changed so many people's lives. I know people who travel the world and finance it not by being an underpaid au pair, but by working for an American company remotely. If you know anything about American salaries, you know they are a lot bigger than European salaries, and can go a lot further in most other countries around the world than they can in America. There's a whole community on Reddit dedicated to the overemployed: people who have two or three remote jobs they work from home to bring in six-figure paychecks. Some of us like the small pleasures of working from home. I take pleasure in writing while supine. My roommate gets to cook and bake on his lunch break. My dad gets to join meetings with his dogs by his side, and I think that's beautiful. 

With all the benefits of working from home, there are always downsides. Just because your job can't control whether you work at the coffee shop or from your bed doesn't mean they can't dictate what city you live in. We're not in 2020 anymore, and remote work is getting increasingly restricted the closer we get to the 2030s.
