What is a Life Pro Tip?

A Life Pro Tip (or an LPT) is a specific action with definitive results that improves life for you and those around you in a specific and significant way.

Keep in mind that an aphorism is not a LPT.

An aphorism is a a short clever saying that is intended to express a general truth or a concise statement of a principle.

Examples of aphorisms:

"A barking dog never bites."

"No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible."

"All stones are broken stones."

LPT: When starting a remote or hybrid job, ensure your employment contract is specific about your WFH schedule so you can't be forced back into the office later (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Many businesses are returning to the office, which is resulting in workers who prefer fully remote or hybrid work to resign from their positions. If they had asked their job to include specifics about the remote/hybrid policies in their work contract, they would be locked into those policies and could not be forced back into the office.

Never take for granted that the terms of your employment will stay the same unless there is a signed contract ensuring it.

FYI for the majority of US based folks, this will not matter. Most US based folks are working "at will", meaning the company can change the role requirements and fire you at any time.

Valid, but also, if the terms of your employment change you are eligible for unemployment. Versus if your contract doesn't specifically list remote/hybrid work, you'll be forced to abide by it or quit.

Of course they can always claim a BS reason for your firing but this can open them up to lawsuits.
