This. I am currently going through talking with HR ( mostly because management did not want to 'create a precedent'; clearly they got orders from higher ups ) hoping to get full time remote, while, at the same time, interviewing for other positions ( which will worst case serve as a leverage - worst case, I will just go to a different office making more money ). It sucks, but yeah. Unless this is in writing somewhere, it can change at any moment. If I wasn't so scared of being my own boss ( it is genuinely hard to keep track of everything ), I would consider trying consulting.
