&gt; &#x27;The book&#x27; says<p>Hah! I just had this happen to me last month. My wife accepted a position (at her dream company) on the other side of the state. That means we&#x27;re no-questions-asked packing up, selling our home, and moving for this opportunity.<p>I told my manager the news and gave him the choice: The company can transition me to full-time remote or they can have my resignation (which I had typed, printed, signed, and brought with me).<p>So, that afternoon, I&#x27;m in the HR managers office. They (HR, not my manager -- he is an amazing, caring, understanding person who laughs at this story harder than I do) literally pulled &quot;The Book&quot; out and pointed to some section of text while stating, &quot;ENGINEERS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO WORK REMOTELY!&quot; at me.<p>I&#x27;m still there, we made it work, but it took almost more effort than it was worth.
