Remote role turned mandatory relocation is frustrating
Pros
only pros : learn portals , useful documents for upskilling.
Cons
I signed my offer with a clear assurance that the role would be fully remote. For the first year, it worked out great, I wrapped up my first project without any issues. But now that I’m between projects, management is suddenly telling me I need to relocate to a base location for client interviews. The catch is, there are no offices anywhere near my hometown in the Eastern zone. Moving would mean uprooting my entire life, something I specifically avoided by choosing a remote role. I even see remote-eligible roles on our internal portal, so the "mandatory relocation" feels like a bait-and-switch. It’s incredibly frustrating when key employment terms are changed after you've already committed a year to the company. How would you handle this? Should I stand my ground based on the original agreement, or is this a sign that the company is moving away from remote work entirely?
