Sounds simple and that's what I'm doing right now.

It's moreso the company policy you have to wait for.

Transitioning from office work -> fully remote in these times is a massive change for most businesses, and it takes awhile for HR and the wider business to create WFH policies.

I considered moving back to the UK recently because it looked like more companies were open to remote work now. But I found this same shit of "we want you in the office one day a week". No fucking reason for it. Totally defeats the point of trying to work remotely so you don't have to pay half a million to live in a deanobox.

I don't have a problem with labour running the country, unless they start limiting the immigration quota. I

don't agree with Nationals policy on selling our farms and land to offshore companies/individuals. That's pretty fucked . Other than that, they were average - nothing happened.

Would love to come on and yeah I am a bit home sick, but I guess you have to just suck it up and deal with it.

Have you done any travelling around the country?
