Topic	I need an outsider's perspective and possible advice for my wife and I.
BakusaiTenketsu 03/11/21 5:32:16 PM #14:	PrivateBiscuit1 posted... Is there an option your wife can do a transfer to a facility in Utah? She's in a position specifically at a headquarters level. If we move back to Utah, she would have to drop about 4 or 5 pay levels and take a field position instead, which she would not be happy in. Her education and work experience might be applicable to other businesses though, and we haven't researched it, but there would need to be openings of course for those to even be a possibility. Federal jobs are protected though, so transfers to lower paid positions are the only real guarantee. We've talked a little since I posted this, and as of right now, we are just "kicking the can" a little longer. We will extend our lease to November/December if the owners will accept a short term lease, and her hope (which she feels is a strong possibility) is that by that point telework/domicile policies will be updated and which jobs qualify. She isn't excited about moving back to state that has a lot of annual snow, and I get the feeling she liked living far from her parents as well (lol). We just celebrated our 19th wedding anniversary. We will work through this, and divorce isn't anything I'm concerned about. We aren't that bad. But we are definitely very far apart on this decision. It's kind of uneasy putting a lot of faith into the updated policies of the post office that may or may not happen any time soon. I'm fiercely loyal to my wife, even at the expense of my own desires, so I know I'm the type of person that will stay if I had to in order for her job happiness is secure. I could be in for a long road of slight depression in that case. --- https://tinyurl.com/yaumw2p7 <cite>BakusaiTenketsu posted [p:951608466] in I need an ...
