Hindsight is always 20/20, right?

I switched jobs this past summer due to the fact that the campus that I was located on was closing down because of budget cuts. I probably would not have lost my job, but I was pretty sure that I would have to go back commuting an hour and a half each way to the main campus. My supervisor at the time could not give me any clarity on when/if I would have to move back to the main campus, if I could have any flexibility working from home, or if my job was actually secure. There was a lot of transition and several people were leaving the company, so I felt like the best thing would be to look elsewhere. I did not dislike my job at all- I was just scared that I may have to commute again as I had previously done for years before I had been transferred. I did look and I was lucky to find a job very close to home that allows me somewhat of a flexible schedule. That being said, I do not love this job and often miss working for my old company. Anyways, I went out to brunch with a few friends from my old job yesterday and they let me know that my coworker from the satellite campus had been given the benefit of working from home 4 days a week and only commuting once a week. It bummed me out to hear that as I wonder if they would have granted me the same type of schedule if I would have held on a little longer. I guess that I'll never know, but still, it just makes me wonder if I should not have been so quick to jump ship. Just needed to get that out

Ugh sorry to hear it. Probably wouldn't have happened though if you were both asking. Or at least that's what I'd tell myself!
