Colleagues are all in office, I'm Remote
Everyone on my team, including my boss, is in the office three times a week. I was hired a year ago as a fully remote employee, and they were already working in person at that point. Over the past year, I’ve traveled there twice to meet them.
I like working remotely and live in a different state (plus, there are a few of us who are remote), but I definitely feel at a disadvantage when it comes to connecting with my colleagues—especially my boss. She often makes comments like, "If you were in the office..." or "It’s easier to talk about XYZ in person..." or "That's the downside to being remote..."
I really do my best to stay engaged and build relationships despite being remote. And if my boss had a big issue with it, they still chose to hire me, knowing I wouldn’t be in the office...
At this point, I’m wondering if I should do us all a favor—find a job that’s a better fit for me that I actually like, and let them find someone who can be in the office.
