Hi there,
I love where I work and can envision working here for years and years. Unfortunately, about 6 months into this job, husband got a dream job elsewhere and we decided it's what was best for us long term. (We're moving from HCOL to LCOL and are also planning for a family, so housing expenses for more rooms is more affordable.)
I'm considering asking to be a remote manager (I am currently a manager) but, if I am honest, pretty nervous. I know that my predecessor worked remotely for 2 months towards the end of her time here and that another manager at my level worked remotely for two months prior to moving to DC. We also have staff that work remotely 2 days out of the week every week; in other words, this is a very WFH friendly company culture. Still, 100% remote is a BIG ASK. I would also be willing to come into the office 1 week out of the month (as long as the company foots that bill).
So, my questions:
- Are you a remote manager and do you have experiences to share for or against?
- Have you asked for and successfully received a remote position in a manager/director position?
- Do you have anything remotely (hohoho) useful or comforting to share, cuz like, that would be the best, so please do?
Thanks in advance, all.
