    she wants a very basic home. A small yard primarily to start a garden, maybe 800-1000 sq ft on the high end, and not much more.

    …and…

    And also her work, which is 100% remote,

    100% remote? Seek out former industrial cities that have been devastated by American manufacturing coupled decline with population decline.

    This one is one hour outside Pittsburgh and 1.5 hours outside of Cleveland. So you’re still close two a couple sizable international airports, theaters, museums with great food scenes. Both cities host large Universities so you’re close to a fairly highly educated population.

      If only you had read a bit more to see that her work keeps threatening return to office.

        I saw it. Lots of orgs are threatening. Very few have actually acted on it. I wanted that poster to have the info about options.

          You’re not wrong. I appreciate the info. That’s exactly what she’s looking for. Thank you for looking. We’re always on the lookout.

          And if she’s already working from home she probably has skills she can apply to other remote jobs. I say start applying now.

            If thisbis his mother in law i am gonna assume she is in her 50’s to 60’s. It’s hard to get an office job at that age since she likely isn’t too far away from retirement age

        I think this is one of few things where employees are successfully putting their collective foot down. I’ve seen several companies announce return to office and then walk it back just a few days later after an enormous portion of the workforce threatens to leave.
