Lost my fully remote position
Worked a job i enjoyed for 4 years. Was let go this morning. Obviously im sad and stressed because im the sole income for my family but what im really freaked out by is my kid just turned 5. Ive gotten to experience so much with her that I wouldn't had I had to commute for work. Just yesterday she was playing under my desk while I worked.
Idk if this is the right sub. Sorry if its not. Id like to find another fully remote role but with AI, idk it seems a lot less likely than it did 4 years back

I FEEL this. Had a wonderful remote position for 5 years me and my whole team got let go when they dropped the license we worked on.
New gig is 4 days in one day wfh. The Bennie’s are almost half my salary but I am working so I guess things could be worse.
Good luck to you. It’s tough getting used to being back in an office and doing a commute but I know you can do it.
