💨 Abstract

Ashley, a 36-year-old publishing professional, relocated from London to a Wiltshire village during the pandemic, enjoying remote work. His boss now demands a full-time office return, threatening his financial stability due to costly commutes (£13,260/year). With rising rents and living costs, Ashley seeks advice. Experts suggest negotiating flexible work, citing his six-year remote success, or requesting a pay raise.
