Hey all, this is a big moment in my life. And I'm not quite sure how to navigate it. I've been dating a pretty awesome girl for 7 months and talks are starting to come up about me being closer to her. She lives almost 2 hours away and we've been doing the commuting thing. I love my job, and I could do pretty much everything remotely. We currently have one employee (very similar position to mine) who works in my department that works remotely. We are growing pretty quickly and I feel like the flexibility that my company likes to preach will slowly die down as we get bigger. I'm trying to think of ways I could really prove to them that my work won't be hindered by working from home.
If I were to move closer to SO, we would not live together right away. Her place is too small for the both of us, and we understand that we both like time to ourselves. If things keep going well, more talks about moving in together will happen.
I love this company, the people I work with and the freedom they give me to do my own work. I also get to do things I get satisfaction from. Nowadays, that's rare. We're implementing a new personal/professional development program so maybe in the next couple months, I can show that I'm meeting all these goals and I'm continuing to help the company grow. Lots of structure stresses me out sometimes, so I would not be one to constantly list everything I'm doing for work every hour because I feel that would hinder my productivity.
Anyone been in a similar situation?
