    My workplace has been pushing to recall all remote workers back on-site. I am one of them. Was hired during the pandemic and not a drivable distance from the facility and not able to move. Been looking for a new job for a few months. Still looking. Still waiting for the hammer to come down. They just forced a big group of remote workers from another department to either return or resign. Most “resigned” by being labelled as job abandonment so the company could get out of paying for any unemployment. The walls are closing in and I basically exist in a constant state of panic every day. Like, I’m not bad off. I have hosing and enough money saved that I’d be fine for at least a year if I HAD to. Much better off than most people but still it’s just terrifying. At an age where medical stuff might start being a thing and now I’m just counting the days till I’m unemployed and uninsured in this shithole of a capitalist hell we call a country.

      I do hope things get better for you soon. It’s good to see you have the resources to survive for a while though.
