I’m changing jobs at the moment. I accepted a position at a UK office of an American company which I was a perfect fit for but they wouldn’t tolerate remote working or flexitime. A few days after, I was offered a job at a UK company offering 80% remote work and very generous flexi but for £5000/year less. I let the American company know I wouldn’t be starting with them after all. Honestly, it this day and age flexible hours and such aren’t a big ask for most information workers and work-life life balance is too important.
