Edition #10

While everyone's wrapping presents and pretending to enjoy the office party, let’s chat about something actually valuable:

The truth about what you're getting for Christmas this year.

Another commute. Another year of office politics. Another 12 months watching your life disappear into conference rooms.

Damn right I'm being blunt. It's the holidays - the one time of year when you actually get to taste what life could be like.

You're home. You're with people who matter. You're not performing for people who could lay you off in a heartbeat.

But in a few days? You're back in traffic.

Here's what pisses me off:

You have the experience and you’ve put in the hours. You’ve proven you can do your job well, without babysitting.

The right to work on your own terms is YOURS.

But instead of spending this holiday planning your escape, you're probably convincing yourself that 2026 will be different. That this will be the year your company "gets it." That maybe, just maybe, they'll finally offer flexible work options.

Sadly, if they haven’t realised it by now, it’s highly unlikely they will any time soon.

Landing a legitimate remote role at the senior level isn't about hoping your current employer evolves. It's about strategic positioning in a market that's actually hiring remote talent.

And yeah, that market exists. While your CEO is mandating RTO, thousands of companies are actively recruiting senior professionals who don’t need babysitting in an office.

The difference between you and them?

They stopped waiting.

Look, I'm not here to ruin your holidays. I’m here to make sure this is the last holiday you spend dreading the return to work.

So here's my gift to you: 90 seconds of brutal clarity.

Our diagnostic tells you exactly where you stand in the remote job market. Not some BS personality quiz. Not generic advice you could get from ChatGPT.

A real assessment, and real next steps.

December is when most experienced professionals make a decision:

They either commit to changing their situation or they convince themselves to give it "one more year."

One more year of commuting. One more year of office politics. One more year of missing out on time with loved ones.

I've seen both paths.

The people who actually take action are working remotely by Q2. They're getting their time back. They're finally operating at the level they've earned.

And the people who wait are reading this same newsletter next December, still dreaming about their escape.

🎯 Fully Remote Jobs (No "Fake Remote" Here):

Take the diagnostic. Get your results. Decide if you're serious about 2026 being different.

If you are? You'll know exactly what to fix.

And seriously, enjoy your holidays.

Just don't waste them pretending next year will magically be better.

It won't. Unless you take action, that is!

Stay Rebellious and Merry Christmas,

Michelle & the RR Team
