Howdy!! It was more of a “that’s the last straw” sort of thing, but it was just ludicrous to me that I was being forced back into an office to sit on the same dang Zoom calls I’d been on every day for the previous two years.
When I inquired what was gained doing the exact same work still separated from everyone because we were across multiple states and countries, I was told “we work BeTtEr ToGeThEr!”
The mandate was announced in January, it went into effect in February, and I was gone in March.
Not exactly but close. I was hired on as “remote, but you’ll have to come in as needed to complete project work that needs to be done onsite.” I was then exclusively given projects that had to be done on site while the senior members of the team got remote projects.
Brought up my concerns to management, had them dangle remote work like a carrot I had to earn, quit. Found a fully remote job. Never been happier despite a significant pay cut. Highly recommend.
Anyone else here quit a job over back-to-office mandates?

Yes, I did. It wasn’t the only reason but it was a reason.
