I quit my job because my company wanted us to go back to the office 3 days a week. Funny thing is, my last day ended up being two days before my fifth anniversary at the old place. Longest job I ever stayed at, and I'd still be there if upper management didn't decide they valued keeping us where we can be monitored and controlled 24/7 over our actual mental health. I found a new position that pays way more than my old one and is fully remote. I was even told by the recruiter that I could be a digital nomad and travel wherever, bring my company laptop with me, work during the day, and explore whatever city I'm in at night. Not having to commute during the pandemic has done wonders for my mental health, and I simply can't go back to working in an office. If I couldn't find an all-remote position, I would've just quit my job, broken my lease, moved back in with my mom, and lived like a bum in her spare room. Funny thing is, my boss actually fought for us. He knew most of us were going to quit if we had to go back, so he fought like hell with upper management and HR to negotiate an exception for the team. The day I got my offer at the new place was the day he told us he got an exception where we'd be allowed to work from home most of the time (except for monthly one-on-ones and biweekly meetings with an internal customer). I still took the offer though (and I've already started the new job), because a) it pays so much more than the old job, b) I have a senior title now, c) fully remote 100% of the time plus being able to be a digital nomad is better than having to go in for certain meetings and not being allowed to leave the metro area, and d) I was told that, at the old company, if any of our performance was found to be insufficient we could be pulled back into the office as a punishment at any time, which just screams "trap" to me.
