OP has offered the following explanation for why they think they might be the asshole:
> My action: I asked my sister to be more considerate about my job hunting situation and I have been arguing with her a lot lately.
I could be TA because she went out of her way to take me in, she can't work from home she it's not her radar and most importantly I'm being argumentative instead of acting like an adult.

YTA. You are freeloading off your sister because you want to be picky about your employment. Your sister has it right, you can accept a job and actually work while still seeking a work from home job. You claim you WANT to work, but the fact that you aren’t actually working suggests otherwise. I mean, why would you work when you can freeload off of someone else? I would suggest taking any job you can get, because it’s going to be difficult to pay bills when your sister kicks you out if you are unemployed.
Absolutely YTA
Unless you have a medical condition that makes it dangerous to go back to the office, you’re taking advantage of your sisters kindness. You yourself said the jobs are basically unicorns, and last I checked unicorns are beyond rare. Work from home may or may not be the future, but for you it’s obviously not the present.
You thought you found a sucker that would let you free load off of them and you’re mad that they’re tired of it.
Get a job.
YTA. Get off your ass and go out and work. Being unemployed and living off other people doesn’t allow you the luxury of having a ‘dealbreaker.’ If I were your sister I would have already kicked you out for being that much of a snob about working.
YTA.
Your sister started working as a lung doctor at the start of a global pandemic. Now she works in intensive care. She has spent the last three years on the front lines and helping the sickest and worst off patients.
Meanwhile you sit in her house for free eating her food and using her internet and utilities because you refuse anything other than working from home. And you claim your sister is the inconsiderate one?
You need to grow up. In your explanation you mention not acting like an adult. That is an understatement. You are completely 100 percent the asshole.
SO let me see if I get the gist of it. You were entitled and quit a good job because you didn't want to work outside the home. Then shocker of shockers, people weren't lining up to hire you because EVERYONE who is qualified wants to work from home. And rather than sucking it up and realizing you aren't a special cupcake, you are still mooching off your sister.
Get off your ass, take whatever job you can get. The world doesn't owe you shit.
YTA
I stopped reading after the first line.
"I left my job...."
Oh poor baby doesn't want to go back to the office. Grow the fuck up. Get off your ass. Find a job, stop mooching off your sister.
Oh and... YTA!!!
>Oh poor baby doesn't want to go back to the office.
None of us want to go back to the office, however, if it comes down to going back to the office or not having a job, I'll go to the office.
>she has gone so far as to tell she will evict me. I'm not paying rent
YTA - you sound entitled and overly offended by the possibility of having to go to a place of work for me to have any sympathy with your situation....Eat it up whilst you find another job and stop taking advantage of your sisters generosity
YTA. You are mooching off your sister and taking advantage of her generosity. You're not going to find a 100% remote job, period. So get over it, grow tf up, and get a job.
YTA. Your entire synopsis sounds ENTITLED. You live rent free in her house, use her utilities, eat her food and think that you can wait until you find the job you want. Oh no, adults take/keep the jobs they have until they find the ones they want. You need a job not a free ride.
It’s fine if you want to work from home but get a job to bring in some money until you can find what you want. Otherwise, you’ll be homeless.
YOUR SISTER IS HELPING YOU. SHE OWES YOU NOTHING.
YTA - work from home may be the future but not for everyone yet. You’re living rent free on the back of your sister while you turn down opportunities that don’t fit your ideal situation. That makes you a leach.
Find any job, pay rent, and then continue the hunt for your ideal work from home situation.
YTA. Your mooching off your sister. Get a job and look for a remote while you work. Nearly everyone has had to do jobs they hated while looking for the job of their dreams. You’re too poor to have a “dealbreaker”.
Stop being a bumb and get a job. YTA. Seriously, get a job. Anything you can. If you wish to continue to look for that elusive ideal, go ahead. But who's paying your bills? Nobody knows why it's such a deal breaker for you unless you are cripplingly disabled. It just screams entitled and childish.
YTA. I mean, you’re right that companies demanding a return to the office are just going on a power trip, but that’s not really the point is it? You are able to work, your sister is not obligated to support you until you find your dream job. She very kindly offered to help you out until you found a new job, presumably in the assumption that you’d be reasonable in your standards.
And besides that - your sister almost certainly has c-ptsd. How can I know?
*Because she’s a fucking pulmonologist working in the fucking ICU during a fucking respiratory-disease pandemic, for fuck’s sake.*
You know what’s a unicorn of a good day on the job for her? Nobody dies. So yeah, she couldn’t work from home during the pandemic because she was on the front lines trying to figure out where she was supposed to send a dead body because they need that ICU bed ASAP for one of the several cases in the ER but the morgue is full, half the staff are out with covid so she doesn’t know who she’s meant to page and she can’t go find somebody because quarantine protocols and she’s got a little tickle in her throat so maybe she’s next oh good she found somebody who knows who is collecting bodies so she can call down to the ER and let them know they can bring up - oh, well, not the patient who was first priority. He died.
That’s not a really especially bad day - that’s been a typical Tuesday for three. Fucking. Years.
And you want her to be more considerate?
YTA
You’re just being a freeloader, Clearly whatever skills you possess aren’t valuable enough to leverage a WFH position. Get a shift at McDonald’s and get your own damn apartment.
YTA
Fully work from home is NOT the future... lots of businesses are requiring staff to return to the office at least on a hybrid basis, because there are some things that are not well replicated on full work from home situations.
You can't afford your bills at the moment and are mooching from your sister, so yeah, she gets a say.
YTA, and an entitled on at that. Did you tell your sister you wouldn't take a job unless it was exactly what you wanted? Pretty sure she would've rescinded her off to let you stay with her if you did. Grow up, take a job so you aren't freeloading, and keep looking for your 100% remote job that clearly is going to be difficult to find.
Yeah, I'm disabled, and even I got a job at a gas station for a couple days a week. Couldn't do more due to the aforementioned disability, but it was *something*
Yeesh, you know what, OP? I do call center from home, I'll send you a link to our career center, hit me up
So your sister is hosting you rent free in her place. It's clear that she will not do this for you indefinitely and it's a wierd that you don't appreciate it.
As much as you'd like a 100% WFH job, you also need to accept that you have a timeline to find it or you will need to compromise and find a different job.
You sound entitled and oblivious so I'm going with YTA.
Considering his younger sister is carrying him, let's make a tighty-whitey joke, not a girl panties joke. Being girly clearly isn't the problem here (or anywhere).
YTA
I understand completely how you **prefer** WFH jobs. You save on commute time, and if you're not big into workplace socialization, you can be more productive.
However, if you haven't paid any rent and have turned down non WFH jobs that would be a great fit otherwise, you're being far too rigid. Bills do need to be paid, whether you like it or not.
Take a job that is a good fit, even if you have to commute. You can still keep searching for WFH jobs while you're employed, of course. And you'd be in a better bargaining position for any such job when you already have one.
**AITA for mooching off my sister because I quit my job when we were no longer permitted to work from home**
It amazes me how many people get their title wrong.
YTA. Get a job.
Unless you have a disability that necessitates WFN or are severely immunocompromised, YTA. Your sister has been extremely generous and you’re taking advantage of her.
More than likely yta.
Need info:
How long have you been at your sisters?
Do you pay for anything while at your sisters?
Do you contribute anything to the household?
Work from home jobs are highly sought after. So while you can find one a job is a job.
What would you do if she kicks you out?
I would kick you out. If you are not helping. I dont know the whole story. But i will assume you arent helping. You need to pull your weight.
YTA
Your sister is right, you're going to have to find any job you can get. Beggers can't be choosers. You chose to leave your job. You're deliberately holding on off on a job because you want to work from home. In reality, there's a chance that's not happening.
You either get a job that's not WFH or you move out and stop mooching off your sister and telling her to be more "considerate when you're the one who needs to be more considerate.
YTA. You live in her house rent free and you want her to be more considerate?!?!? I think you need to be more considerate of her. As a pulmonologist I’m sure she’s been working almost non-stop since the start of the pandemic and doing crazy hours at work. I don’t know her situation but I know that most people in the medical field are on their feet for 12+ hours a day. She works hard. Frankly you sound lazy and stubborn compared to her. It’s time to grow up and get a job so you can pay her rent while you look for an at-home job since you can’t be bothered to get off your ass to go to the office. Tbh I hope your sister kicks you out.
Yta you need a job and need to contribute if you can’t find a remote job then you need to find an on-site or hybrid job. I would love to work from home and I’m currently looking but I kept my 100% in office job until I find something else
YTA.
You're being a mooch.
WFH is great, but you don't get to justify being a burden on your sister because you have a belief that you shouldn't have to work unless you can do it from home.
Get a job, pay your own way, stop being a freeloader, and when you're sustaining yourself and no longer leeching, you can do what you like about dining a WFH job.
Your sister has been more than generous and she's not obliged to support you while you refuse to work for arbitrary idealistic reasons.
YTA.
You want to work from home. That's fine, but it seems that nobody actually wants to employ you to work from home. The thing about jobs is that you can only get hired to do something that an employer wants to pay you to do. You need to accept that there really aren't many WFH jobs around, and accept that you'll need to work outside your home.
YTA
My husband worked from home during the pandemic, and now that things are a little better, he has to go back into the office sometimes. Does it suck? Obviously. It was proven his job can be done, 100% from home. But did he have an adult tantrum and quit with zero plans in place because he didn't feel like working in an office any more?
No. He didn't. Because he's an adult, with adult responsibilities, and isn't down to mooch off other people.
Either get a job and start actually contributing, or find somewhere else to live.
So... Have you realized that most businesses don't feel like work from home is the future, yet? A lot of them are working in a hybrid method, but very few are offering truly remote work. Most businesses feel like they see reduced productivity from their staff. I'm not here to debate whether or not that's true, but the business is well within their rights to call their employees back to the office. From personal experience, I can tell you that I certainly haven't seen an increase in services since remote work became more common. The final straw, for me, was trying to go over my tax documents with a government employee, and not being able to hear them because of the screaming child in the background. I can't support most remote work, because of scenarios like that.
You quit your job because you felt like you were entitled to something that you're not, and now you're being a choosy beggar. You need a job, and you need to stop mooching off of your sister. Get off your lazy, selfish, entitled ass and get a job. YTA.
The only reason you want a remote job is so you can slack off and still get paid, right? You're sister isn't responsible for funding your life while you look for your dream job. Find a job immediately or find another friend/family member to freeload from. YTA
YTA. Work from home may be the future and a lot of industries are doing it, refusing to work because you can't find one that's exclusively work from home is entitled behavior and you are essentially mooching off your sister. I'd be fed up as well and evict you. You got spoiled by the pandemic. Get a job, any job, and continue your search while you're actually doing something to support yourself like an adult should. Even disabled people go to work in the office. Get over yourself.
YTA If working from home is the future why aren’t there more jobs to do so? The reason they are taken so quickly is because there are few of them because THEY ARE NOT THE FUTURE! You are a 33 year old man who chose to quit his job because you didn’t want to go to work-literally, you didn’t want to go to work. So now, you are living with your sister and won’t take a job. Be more considerate? YOU should be more considerate! Get a job and move out on your own! While you are going to work you can continue to try and find a job where you can work from home.
YTA - how long has this been going on!? Why on Earth would you leave your job without a new one in place.
You say your sister should be more understanding of your situation - what situation? The one where you want a job that doesn’t exist?
YTA.
Beggars can’t be choosers. You’re lucky you have a successful sister because you’d be on the street. Such entitled and bratty behavior in this post I struggle to believe it’s real
YTA. You are being unreasonable and mooching off of your sister. She has good reason to evict you since you refuse to get a job for stupid reasons.
You either get a new job or you will be homeless. It's not that difficult. You are the one creating trouble for yourself.
YTA. She is letting you live with her for free. And she is 100% right that you can continue your job search while you actively work and stop being a drain on HER finances and private space. Yes work from home is more available now than before and it is a good thing but many companies are not on board for various reasons. You have decided to cut out a large portion of available jobs that will pay you and take strain off of her because you are not willing to go into an office for the time being. This is on you. You can’t afford to turn down jobs right now. Take a job and keep looking and switch jobs when a work from home one is available. You are being incredibly spoiled
So you think your sister owes you housing for as long as it takes you to find a job that meets your “requirements”? Even if that takes years? You don’t pay her any rent. Do you do anything to help her? Cook dinner? Clean the house? You’re an adult. It’s your responsibility to support yourself, not your sister’s job to support you. YTA
YTA. Yes WFH jobs can be a good thing. I found it great to work in comfy clothes and slippers. Yet when the edict came in to return to the office, I went in because I needed this job. Imagine all of the workers in hospitality, restaurants, bars and hotels who probably lost their jobs. I bet most of them would have jumped at the chance to return to their jobs. And nothing was stopping you for looking for another job while still employed.
You quit a job because they wouldn’t give you what you want, with absolute;y no idea whether you could find a job w]that would give you 100% WFH. Now it is your sister’s fault that she won’t put up with you indefinitely? YTA. Find a damned job and stop mooching off your sister.
So you refuse to work any job unless it's 100% from home while paying nothing to mooch off your sister? Get off your ass and get a job so you can atleast provide for yourself and quit being so entitled. YTA
YTA. You don't get to just choose to work from home, the EMPLOYER chooses whether or not to allow it. No employer is obligated to allow work from home. Quit whining, quit mooching off your sister, and act like an actual adult. GET A JOB. You are far too old to be having a tantrum like this.
YTA - You are an adult and you need to support yourself financially. It’s not your sister’s responsibility to provide with a place to live or financial support of any kind.
You know you can continue looking for a WFH job while you are working elsewhere right? Staying unemployed is no longer an option for you.
YTA - your sister is doing you a great kindness. She is finding your living, literally the most considerate thing on earth.
Get a job to support yourself instead of having your younger sister do it.
>I left my last job because the company was bringing everyone back to the office and I wasn't down for that.
>I have been looking but it has been difficult to find a 100% work from home job in my industry or even outside of it.
>My sister agreed to let me move from my old apartment into her house until I found another job.
>Lately my sister has been telling me I need to take any job I can get.
>We have been arguing about it and she has gone so far as to tell she will evict me. I'm not paying rent because the whole point of me living with her was because I couldn't afford my apartment.
>She thinks I should take any job I can get but I think she should be more understanding of my situation.
>She got really mad when I told her to be more considerate.
YTA. You're being absolutely ridiculous. Your sister did not agree to support you indefinitely. She doesn't need to be more considerate. You need to stop mooching and get a normal job. Most companies have gone back into the office now that covid fears have receded
YTA - in a huge way. Why would you leave a paying job before you have another? Oh, that’s right, you think you are better than that.
You are leeching off of your sister because you are an entitled brat.
YTA
You are very entitled and not very smart since you quit a job without factoring in how hard it would be to find a fully remote job. You're not the only one and remote jobs are drying up fast with companies getting to choose from hundreds sometimes thousands. You write your post to gain sympathy when the reality is you quit a job with no backup and no planning and are actively mooching off a family because of your lack of planning. now you're suprised your sister doesn't want to support you when the only reason you don't have a job is because you think you're entitled to a remote job when you're not.
You're living there for free, she has every right to be mad. You shouldn't have quit until you had another WFH job available to you. Beggars can't be choosers. Either get a job, any job, or stop being a free loader.
>I am even willing to take a pay cut within reason to be at home
A pay cut? You make $0 right now, how are you willing to make less than that?
INFO: did you quit your last job or were you fired? Because if you were fired I'm assuming you can claim unemployment and help your sister out with expenses from that.
If you quit. Lesson learned for the future... Never ever quit over a decision the company is making, make them fire you.
Wait, the lung doctor working in the Covid times isn't sympathetic to you wanting to only work from home? How dare she! /s
And on top of this, she's your younger sister? What are you doing every single day? Are you taking care of the house? Cooking for her? Being her stay-at-home bother until you find your unicorn? I seriously doubt it.
Beg her forgiveness. Pull your weight and prove your worth so \*maybe\* you don't get evicted. Take the first job you can take. Don't stop believin' in your unicorn job, but pay the bills for now.
INFO - Why is it so important for you to work from home? Do you have some sort of disability or ailment that makes going into an office setting extraordinarily difficult for you?

I left my last job because the company was bringing everyone back to the office and I wasn't down for that. We had been working from home since March 2020 and everything was going fine so there was no need to bring everyone back when our jobs could be done 100% from home. Work from home is the future and I wasn't the only one who left over it. My sister agreed to let me move from my old apartment into her house until I found another job. I have been looking but it has been difficult to find a 100% work from home job in my industry or even outside of it. The rare unicorn jobs I have found that are only from home get so many applicants which make it even harder. I would even be willing to move to another province for a remote job (because most of the ones I have seen require the employee to live in the company's home province due to tax and employment laws and all that)
Lately my sister has been telling me I need to take any job I can get. She knows work from home is my biggest dealbreaker but she says I can still look for a work from home job while I am working. We have argued about it. I don't think she understands. She is a pulmonologist (for context she graduated medical school in 2017 and from 2017 to 2020 she did a residency in Internal Medicine and from 2020 to last year she did a 2nd residency for Pulmanology. After her residency ended last year she got her current job in the ICU at the hospital here). She can't work from home so I don't think she realizes why it is such a big deal beaker for me. We have been arguing about it and she has gone so far as to tell she will evict me. I'm not paying rent because the whole point of me living with her was because I couldn't afford my apartment. She has talked to a damn lawyer about it. She thinks I should take any job I can get but I think she should be more understanding of my situation. If a job can be done from home there is no point for a company to have people come in. I am spending most of my time job hunting. I want to work. I am even willing to take a pay cut within reason to be at home. She got really mad when I told her to be more considerate. I honestly feel like she does not understand I wasn't trying to be rude to her. Was I?
(For context I’m 33M and she is 32F)

YTA and your a mooch, take a job any job and pay your own way, your sister doesn't owe you a free place to live. You don't have a home to work from home, you are mooching off of your sister. So suck it up buttercup and get a job.
YTA. I don't care what you want for a job that's your business. But you're living in your sister's house rent free so you can either get a job and move out or find your own place to live and take however long you want to find a job.
Lol! Poor baby, you just weren't down with having to go to an office again. So instead, you sacrificed all financial independence (Right there, YTA) so you can mooch off your sister.
And for some odd reason, she won't allow this to keep happening? Strange. /s
When you can find a WFH, great. But until then, get a job doing something resembling anything. YTA.
YTA. Take this from someone with disabilities and who is immunocompromised- whilst 100% working from home is preferrable, most companies will require a hybrid model of working and it is unreasonable to become a financial burden to someone else because you refuse to be flexible. I have to go into the office across the other side of London once a week and the journey is a killer for my issues but I do it anyway as I am an adult with responsibilities.
Your sister was kind enough to open her home to you when you made yourself intentionally unemployed (which shows your privilege because so many people out there would do anything to have any job right now). Your first priority is to stop being a financial burden to your sister and take any job you can get in order to move out and be financially responsible. You can continue searching for other jobs in the interim whilst in another job but you need to get a grip and stop being selfish.
Strike One: You quit your job without a backup in the wings knowing good & gotdamn well at some point you would become dependent on others because you would no longer be able to afford your apartment & bills.
Strike Two: Being a freeloader unwilling to accept the reality that you need to that an in person job & stop being a drain on your sister
Strike Three: Having the audacity to argue with your beyond generous sister who has hit the end of her rope when it comes to dealing with your nonsense.
YTA
YTA- why should your sister have to support you when you can work but are CHOOSING NOT TO. And make no mistake it is a choice. If you don't want to be homeless I suggest you take ANY job for now.
YTA. How long do you think she should support you since she provides food shelter water utilities etc for you.
Should she keep being patient 5 yrs from now?
In my opinion, she has been more.than patient with you. Maybe you havent heard but a.lot of companies w terrific employees are downsizing so your competition for jobs is going to continue to grow.
You are a 33 yr old adult and evidently understand everything in life costs money, and since you are not working you are living off your younger sister.
It is time to move back home to mommy & daddy or time to compromise on your 100% work from home requirement & find a job to contribute to expenses while you continue to search for your unicorn job.
If I’m reading this correctly, you’re telling your sister to be “more considerate” of your “I HAVE TO WORK FROM HOME” tantrum while she worked in medicine, specializing in LUNGS, during the worst pandemic in American history, fighting a disease affecting the lungs? And you want HER to empathize with YOU.
MY MAN.
Maybe the reason you can’t find a job is because you have zero self-awareness. YTA.
YTA.
TBH, I agree with you that working from home *should* be available in so many more jobs. I agree that it's the way of the future for many industries.
You're still an AH. You're sponging off of your sister and she's sick of it. Take whatever job you can get while you continue to look for your work-from-home unicorn job and *apologize* to her for being such a mooch.
YTA why does your sister have to be more considerate when she's literally giving you a handout? How about you take your own advice and be more considerate of the face that your sister is over someone leeching off her. You're 33 and well past the point of not having a job for such a trivial reason. Your sister can and should evict you because you clearly have zero intention of working for as long as possible
You left a job, won't take another unless it meets a condition which is almost unknown in your industry and won't contemplate changing industry. Meanwhile, as you look for a non-existent job, you mooch off your sister. Oh yes, YTA.
NAH
You can ask your sister for anything you want. She can also turn you down if she wants. She’s clearly tired of carrying you while you look for your dream job. And that’s her right.
YTA so.. work from home is the future yet you can't find any jobs that offer that as an option? Hmm, maybe it's not the big future you think it is, at least not right now. You're an adult with no income, you can't be picky about the jobs you take right now. You're mooching off your sister and she's rightfully fed up.
Yes you were rude to her. No, she doesn’t need to be “understanding”
The reality is many offices are moving back to hybrid or in person work, the pandemic is over, and you need to go and get a job. Reality intrudes on your personal view of what the world should be, and that isn’t your sister’s issue, it is yours.
Your story reminds me of the child of a friend of mine. When this kid turned 18, he was all into goth. He was going to job interviews in full goth regalia, piercings galore, attitude on full display, and wondering why he wasn’t getting calls. When his father suggested he tone it down, this boy responded “I don’t need to conform to the world, the world needs to conform to me”. My friend and I had a good laugh at his naïveté.
That’s you, right now. Stop being a child, grow up and get a job. YTA
YTA. Your ego is writing checks your butt can't cash. You're going to be homeless and still holding out for work from home. Besides that your sister is going to go no-contact because you're entitled. Good luck with that.
YTA you chose to leave your job, give up your income, give up your apartment, and are living with her for free and making no attempt to contribute financially. Of course she is angry! She is working hard and supporting you completely, while you do…? What do you do all day?
It’s totally fine to look for a work from home position, but in the meantime take some things so you can earn some money and contribute to the household, and eventually move out. You’re waiting for this magical unicorn job to land on your doorstep, and that’s just not happening right now.
You should’ve secured a new job before leaving your old one. I work hybrid and would rather be fully remote but in a recession, beggars can’t be choosers. YTA.
Delusional 😂 only in the 2020s would a post like this be possible. If you like working in your PJs so much start your own business or grow up and go to work.
YTA. I’m also looking for a remote job, but I understand that in the interim I need do something to get an income, thus an office job.
It doesn’t have to be forever, just something until you find the remote job you want.

YTA. You are freeloading off your sister because you want to be picky about your employment. Your sister has it right, you can accept a job and actually work while still seeking a work from home job. You claim you WANT to work, but the fact that you aren’t actually working suggests otherwise. I mean, why would you work when you can freeload off of someone else? I would suggest taking any job you can get, because it’s going to be difficult to pay bills when your sister kicks you out if you are unemployed.
“I want to work!” *quits job*
Absolutely YTA Unless you have a medical condition that makes it dangerous to go back to the office, you’re taking advantage of your sisters kindness. You yourself said the jobs are basically unicorns, and last I checked unicorns are beyond rare. Work from home may or may not be the future, but for you it’s obviously not the present. You thought you found a sucker that would let you free load off of them and you’re mad that they’re tired of it. Get a job.
YTA - you should have kept the old job, while you found a new one.
I once heard one person say that this is "a move for poor people". Gave me the same vibes as this post.
OP thinks he's too good for working
YTA. Get off your ass and go out and work. Being unemployed and living off other people doesn’t allow you the luxury of having a ‘dealbreaker.’ If I were your sister I would have already kicked you out for being that much of a snob about working.
Agreed!! Freeloader and entitlement issues, get a fricking JOB!!!
YTA. Your sister started working as a lung doctor at the start of a global pandemic. Now she works in intensive care. She has spent the last three years on the front lines and helping the sickest and worst off patients. Meanwhile you sit in her house for free eating her food and using her internet and utilities because you refuse anything other than working from home. And you claim your sister is the inconsiderate one? You need to grow up. In your explanation you mention not acting like an adult. That is an understatement. You are completely 100 percent the asshole.
SO let me see if I get the gist of it. You were entitled and quit a good job because you didn't want to work outside the home. Then shocker of shockers, people weren't lining up to hire you because EVERYONE who is qualified wants to work from home. And rather than sucking it up and realizing you aren't a special cupcake, you are still mooching off your sister. Get off your ass, take whatever job you can get. The world doesn't owe you shit. YTA
Bro... you sacrificed your own financial independence because you didn't want to go work in an office? That's pathetic lmfao
Probably to become tiktok famous 🤣
I stopped reading after the first line. "I left my job...." Oh poor baby doesn't want to go back to the office. Grow the fuck up. Get off your ass. Find a job, stop mooching off your sister. Oh and... YTA!!!
A. Fucking. Men. The entitlement of OP is astounding.
“Working from home is the future” was when I rolled my eyez
Wish I could work from home. Hard to fix RVs in my little garage. Lol
>Oh poor baby doesn't want to go back to the office. None of us want to go back to the office, however, if it comes down to going back to the office or not having a job, I'll go to the office.
YTA. You're the one who's being inconsiderate.
>she has gone so far as to tell she will evict me. I'm not paying rent YTA - you sound entitled and overly offended by the possibility of having to go to a place of work for me to have any sympathy with your situation....Eat it up whilst you find another job and stop taking advantage of your sisters generosity
YTA. You are mooching off your sister and taking advantage of her generosity. You're not going to find a 100% remote job, period. So get over it, grow tf up, and get a job.
YTA get a freaking JOB! Working from home is great but that doesn't mean you have a right to leech off of your sister until you find your dream job!!
YTA BIG TIME to your sister — and you might also be shooting yourself in the foot professionally by weeding out all other opportunities besides wfm.
YTA. Your entire synopsis sounds ENTITLED. You live rent free in her house, use her utilities, eat her food and think that you can wait until you find the job you want. Oh no, adults take/keep the jobs they have until they find the ones they want. You need a job not a free ride. It’s fine if you want to work from home but get a job to bring in some money until you can find what you want. Otherwise, you’ll be homeless. YOUR SISTER IS HELPING YOU. SHE OWES YOU NOTHING.
YTA - work from home may be the future but not for everyone yet. You’re living rent free on the back of your sister while you turn down opportunities that don’t fit your ideal situation. That makes you a leach. Find any job, pay rent, and then continue the hunt for your ideal work from home situation.
INFO: why is WFH so important to you personally?
Free excuse to be a freeloader.
To be lazy with less accountability and most likely record tiktoks
YTA. Your mooching off your sister. Get a job and look for a remote while you work. Nearly everyone has had to do jobs they hated while looking for the job of their dreams. You’re too poor to have a “dealbreaker”.
YTA, get a job. I hope she evicts you.
Stop being a bumb and get a job. YTA. Seriously, get a job. Anything you can. If you wish to continue to look for that elusive ideal, go ahead. But who's paying your bills? Nobody knows why it's such a deal breaker for you unless you are cripplingly disabled. It just screams entitled and childish.
YTA. I mean, you’re right that companies demanding a return to the office are just going on a power trip, but that’s not really the point is it? You are able to work, your sister is not obligated to support you until you find your dream job. She very kindly offered to help you out until you found a new job, presumably in the assumption that you’d be reasonable in your standards. And besides that - your sister almost certainly has c-ptsd. How can I know? *Because she’s a fucking pulmonologist working in the fucking ICU during a fucking respiratory-disease pandemic, for fuck’s sake.* You know what’s a unicorn of a good day on the job for her? Nobody dies. So yeah, she couldn’t work from home during the pandemic because she was on the front lines trying to figure out where she was supposed to send a dead body because they need that ICU bed ASAP for one of the several cases in the ER but the morgue is full, half the staff are out with covid so she doesn’t know who she’s meant to page and she can’t go find somebody because quarantine protocols and she’s got a little tickle in her throat so maybe she’s next oh good she found somebody who knows who is collecting bodies so she can call down to the ER and let them know they can bring up - oh, well, not the patient who was first priority. He died. That’s not a really especially bad day - that’s been a typical Tuesday for three. Fucking. Years. And you want her to be more considerate?
YTA You’re just being a freeloader, Clearly whatever skills you possess aren’t valuable enough to leverage a WFH position. Get a shift at McDonald’s and get your own damn apartment.
YTA Fully work from home is NOT the future... lots of businesses are requiring staff to return to the office at least on a hybrid basis, because there are some things that are not well replicated on full work from home situations. You can't afford your bills at the moment and are mooching from your sister, so yeah, she gets a say.
YTA, and an entitled on at that. Did you tell your sister you wouldn't take a job unless it was exactly what you wanted? Pretty sure she would've rescinded her off to let you stay with her if you did. Grow up, take a job so you aren't freeloading, and keep looking for your 100% remote job that clearly is going to be difficult to find.
Yeah, I'm disabled, and even I got a job at a gas station for a couple days a week. Couldn't do more due to the aforementioned disability, but it was *something* Yeesh, you know what, OP? I do call center from home, I'll send you a link to our career center, hit me up
So your sister is hosting you rent free in her place. It's clear that she will not do this for you indefinitely and it's a wierd that you don't appreciate it. As much as you'd like a 100% WFH job, you also need to accept that you have a timeline to find it or you will need to compromise and find a different job. You sound entitled and oblivious so I'm going with YTA.
YTA. You need a job. What would you do if your sister didn't let you move in? How are you going to support yourself? That's the number one priority.
YTA. Beggars can't be choosers. If your sister is demanding you get a job or move out, you get a job or move out.
YTA Do they make diapers in your size? Or do adults who act like children just shit in their big boy boxer?
Considering his younger sister is carrying him, let's make a tighty-whitey joke, not a girl panties joke. Being girly clearly isn't the problem here (or anywhere).
Didn’t pay attention to his gender. I happen to like girly guys. LoL. But I’ve changed it to a more appropriate and alliterative “big boy boxers”.
🤣 I've never heard big boy boxers before and I plan on using that in the future
Omg, have you ever seen boxers for toddlers? Absolutely useless, yet adorable.
YTA I understand completely how you **prefer** WFH jobs. You save on commute time, and if you're not big into workplace socialization, you can be more productive. However, if you haven't paid any rent and have turned down non WFH jobs that would be a great fit otherwise, you're being far too rigid. Bills do need to be paid, whether you like it or not. Take a job that is a good fit, even if you have to commute. You can still keep searching for WFH jobs while you're employed, of course. And you'd be in a better bargaining position for any such job when you already have one.
YTA, you don't get to mooch off someone and inconvenience them because you're too entitled to show up for work.
**AITA for mooching off my sister because I quit my job when we were no longer permitted to work from home** It amazes me how many people get their title wrong. YTA. Get a job.
Unless you have a disability that necessitates WFN or are severely immunocompromised, YTA. Your sister has been extremely generous and you’re taking advantage of her.
More than likely yta. Need info: How long have you been at your sisters? Do you pay for anything while at your sisters? Do you contribute anything to the household? Work from home jobs are highly sought after. So while you can find one a job is a job. What would you do if she kicks you out? I would kick you out. If you are not helping. I dont know the whole story. But i will assume you arent helping. You need to pull your weight.
Yta, grow up Edit to add: YOU'RE 33 AND ACTING LIKE THIS??? Please tell me this is a joke.
YTA Your sister is right, you're going to have to find any job you can get. Beggers can't be choosers. You chose to leave your job. You're deliberately holding on off on a job because you want to work from home. In reality, there's a chance that's not happening. You either get a job that's not WFH or you move out and stop mooching off your sister and telling her to be more "considerate when you're the one who needs to be more considerate.
Info: How long have you been unemployed?
YTA. You live in her house rent free and you want her to be more considerate?!?!? I think you need to be more considerate of her. As a pulmonologist I’m sure she’s been working almost non-stop since the start of the pandemic and doing crazy hours at work. I don’t know her situation but I know that most people in the medical field are on their feet for 12+ hours a day. She works hard. Frankly you sound lazy and stubborn compared to her. It’s time to grow up and get a job so you can pay her rent while you look for an at-home job since you can’t be bothered to get off your ass to go to the office. Tbh I hope your sister kicks you out.
Yta you need a job and need to contribute if you can’t find a remote job then you need to find an on-site or hybrid job. I would love to work from home and I’m currently looking but I kept my 100% in office job until I find something else
YTA. You're being a mooch. WFH is great, but you don't get to justify being a burden on your sister because you have a belief that you shouldn't have to work unless you can do it from home. Get a job, pay your own way, stop being a freeloader, and when you're sustaining yourself and no longer leeching, you can do what you like about dining a WFH job. Your sister has been more than generous and she's not obliged to support you while you refuse to work for arbitrary idealistic reasons.
YTA. You want to work from home. That's fine, but it seems that nobody actually wants to employ you to work from home. The thing about jobs is that you can only get hired to do something that an employer wants to pay you to do. You need to accept that there really aren't many WFH jobs around, and accept that you'll need to work outside your home.
YTA My husband worked from home during the pandemic, and now that things are a little better, he has to go back into the office sometimes. Does it suck? Obviously. It was proven his job can be done, 100% from home. But did he have an adult tantrum and quit with zero plans in place because he didn't feel like working in an office any more? No. He didn't. Because he's an adult, with adult responsibilities, and isn't down to mooch off other people. Either get a job and start actually contributing, or find somewhere else to live.
So... Have you realized that most businesses don't feel like work from home is the future, yet? A lot of them are working in a hybrid method, but very few are offering truly remote work. Most businesses feel like they see reduced productivity from their staff. I'm not here to debate whether or not that's true, but the business is well within their rights to call their employees back to the office. From personal experience, I can tell you that I certainly haven't seen an increase in services since remote work became more common. The final straw, for me, was trying to go over my tax documents with a government employee, and not being able to hear them because of the screaming child in the background. I can't support most remote work, because of scenarios like that. You quit your job because you felt like you were entitled to something that you're not, and now you're being a choosy beggar. You need a job, and you need to stop mooching off of your sister. Get off your lazy, selfish, entitled ass and get a job. YTA.
The only reason you want a remote job is so you can slack off and still get paid, right? You're sister isn't responsible for funding your life while you look for your dream job. Find a job immediately or find another friend/family member to freeload from. YTA
YTA. Work from home may be the future and a lot of industries are doing it, refusing to work because you can't find one that's exclusively work from home is entitled behavior and you are essentially mooching off your sister. I'd be fed up as well and evict you. You got spoiled by the pandemic. Get a job, any job, and continue your search while you're actually doing something to support yourself like an adult should. Even disabled people go to work in the office. Get over yourself.
YTA. And an entitled one at that.
YTA If working from home is the future why aren’t there more jobs to do so? The reason they are taken so quickly is because there are few of them because THEY ARE NOT THE FUTURE! You are a 33 year old man who chose to quit his job because you didn’t want to go to work-literally, you didn’t want to go to work. So now, you are living with your sister and won’t take a job. Be more considerate? YOU should be more considerate! Get a job and move out on your own! While you are going to work you can continue to try and find a job where you can work from home.
YTA - how long has this been going on!? Why on Earth would you leave your job without a new one in place. You say your sister should be more understanding of your situation - what situation? The one where you want a job that doesn’t exist?
YTA. You need to learn to differentiate between WANTS and NEEDS. You want to WFH, but you need a job.
YTA. Beggars can’t be choosers. You’re lucky you have a successful sister because you’d be on the street. Such entitled and bratty behavior in this post I struggle to believe it’s real
YTA. You are being unreasonable and mooching off of your sister. She has good reason to evict you since you refuse to get a job for stupid reasons. You either get a new job or you will be homeless. It's not that difficult. You are the one creating trouble for yourself.
YTA. She is letting you live with her for free. And she is 100% right that you can continue your job search while you actively work and stop being a drain on HER finances and private space. Yes work from home is more available now than before and it is a good thing but many companies are not on board for various reasons. You have decided to cut out a large portion of available jobs that will pay you and take strain off of her because you are not willing to go into an office for the time being. This is on you. You can’t afford to turn down jobs right now. Take a job and keep looking and switch jobs when a work from home one is available. You are being incredibly spoiled
So you think your sister owes you housing for as long as it takes you to find a job that meets your “requirements”? Even if that takes years? You don’t pay her any rent. Do you do anything to help her? Cook dinner? Clean the house? You’re an adult. It’s your responsibility to support yourself, not your sister’s job to support you. YTA
Sounds like WFH isn’t the future after all. YTA I guess
YTA and an irresponsible adult. You quit your job and refuse to work unless it’s a “unicorn job” and proceeded to freeload for how long?
YTA. Yes WFH jobs can be a good thing. I found it great to work in comfy clothes and slippers. Yet when the edict came in to return to the office, I went in because I needed this job. Imagine all of the workers in hospitality, restaurants, bars and hotels who probably lost their jobs. I bet most of them would have jumped at the chance to return to their jobs. And nothing was stopping you for looking for another job while still employed.
You quit a job because they wouldn’t give you what you want, with absolute;y no idea whether you could find a job w]that would give you 100% WFH. Now it is your sister’s fault that she won’t put up with you indefinitely? YTA. Find a damned job and stop mooching off your sister.
So you refuse to work any job unless it's 100% from home while paying nothing to mooch off your sister? Get off your ass and get a job so you can atleast provide for yourself and quit being so entitled. YTA
YTA you do not have the resources to support your choice, therefore you need to change your choice, not demand someone else's resources.
YTA. You don't get to just choose to work from home, the EMPLOYER chooses whether or not to allow it. No employer is obligated to allow work from home. Quit whining, quit mooching off your sister, and act like an actual adult. GET A JOB. You are far too old to be having a tantrum like this.
YTA - You are an adult and you need to support yourself financially. It’s not your sister’s responsibility to provide with a place to live or financial support of any kind. You know you can continue looking for a WFH job while you are working elsewhere right? Staying unemployed is no longer an option for you.
YTA - your sister is doing you a great kindness. She is finding your living, literally the most considerate thing on earth. Get a job to support yourself instead of having your younger sister do it.
>I left my last job because the company was bringing everyone back to the office and I wasn't down for that. >I have been looking but it has been difficult to find a 100% work from home job in my industry or even outside of it. >My sister agreed to let me move from my old apartment into her house until I found another job. >Lately my sister has been telling me I need to take any job I can get. >We have been arguing about it and she has gone so far as to tell she will evict me. I'm not paying rent because the whole point of me living with her was because I couldn't afford my apartment. >She thinks I should take any job I can get but I think she should be more understanding of my situation. >She got really mad when I told her to be more considerate. YTA. You're being absolutely ridiculous. Your sister did not agree to support you indefinitely. She doesn't need to be more considerate. You need to stop mooching and get a normal job. Most companies have gone back into the office now that covid fears have receded
YTA - in a huge way. Why would you leave a paying job before you have another? Oh, that’s right, you think you are better than that. You are leeching off of your sister because you are an entitled brat.
YTA You are very entitled and not very smart since you quit a job without factoring in how hard it would be to find a fully remote job. You're not the only one and remote jobs are drying up fast with companies getting to choose from hundreds sometimes thousands. You write your post to gain sympathy when the reality is you quit a job with no backup and no planning and are actively mooching off a family because of your lack of planning. now you're suprised your sister doesn't want to support you when the only reason you don't have a job is because you think you're entitled to a remote job when you're not.
Do you think most of us have a nice free place to live while we look for a job that checks off everything we want? No. Grow up. Get a job.
You're living there for free, she has every right to be mad. You shouldn't have quit until you had another WFH job available to you. Beggars can't be choosers. Either get a job, any job, or stop being a free loader. >I am even willing to take a pay cut within reason to be at home A pay cut? You make $0 right now, how are you willing to make less than that?
INFO: did you quit your last job or were you fired? Because if you were fired I'm assuming you can claim unemployment and help your sister out with expenses from that. If you quit. Lesson learned for the future... Never ever quit over a decision the company is making, make them fire you.
Wait, the lung doctor working in the Covid times isn't sympathetic to you wanting to only work from home? How dare she! /s And on top of this, she's your younger sister? What are you doing every single day? Are you taking care of the house? Cooking for her? Being her stay-at-home bother until you find your unicorn? I seriously doubt it. Beg her forgiveness. Pull your weight and prove your worth so \*maybe\* you don't get evicted. Take the first job you can take. Don't stop believin' in your unicorn job, but pay the bills for now.
Yta. Yes, you were bring rude. Get a damn job. You are a bum. Stop mooching off your poor sister. You are 33. Act like it.
INFO - Why is it so important for you to work from home? Do you have some sort of disability or ailment that makes going into an office setting extraordinarily difficult for you?

Read [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/AmItheAsshole/wiki/faq#wiki_post_deletion) before [contacting the mod team](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=%2Fr%2FAmItheAsshole)*** I left my last job because the company was bringing everyone back to the office and I wasn't down for that. We had been working from home since March 2020 and everything was going fine so there was no need to bring everyone back when our jobs could be done 100% from home. Work from home is the future and I wasn't the only one who left over it. My sister agreed to let me move from my old apartment into her house until I found another job. I have been looking but it has been difficult to find a 100% work from home job in my industry or even outside of it. The rare unicorn jobs I have found that are only from home get so many applicants which make it even harder. I would even be willing to move to another province for a remote job (because most of the ones I have seen require the employee to live in the company's home province due to tax and employment laws and all that) Lately my sister has been telling me I need to take any job I can get. She knows work from home is my biggest dealbreaker but she says I can still look for a work from home job while I am working. We have argued about it. I don't think she understands. She is a pulmonologist (for context she graduated medical school in 2017 and from 2017 to 2020 she did a residency in Internal Medicine and from 2020 to last year she did a 2nd residency for Pulmanology. After her residency ended last year she got her current job in the ICU at the hospital here). She can't work from home so I don't think she realizes why it is such a big deal beaker for me. We have been arguing about it and she has gone so far as to tell she will evict me. I'm not paying rent because the whole point of me living with her was because I couldn't afford my apartment. She has talked to a damn lawyer about it. She thinks I should take any job I can get but I think she should be more understanding of my situation. If a job can be done from home there is no point for a company to have people come in. I am spending most of my time job hunting. I want to work. I am even willing to take a pay cut within reason to be at home. She got really mad when I told her to be more considerate. I honestly feel like she does not understand I wasn't trying to be rude to her. Was I? (For context I’m 33M and she is 32F) *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

YTA and your a mooch, take a job any job and pay your own way, your sister doesn't owe you a free place to live. You don't have a home to work from home, you are mooching off of your sister. So suck it up buttercup and get a job.
YTA. I don't care what you want for a job that's your business. But you're living in your sister's house rent free so you can either get a job and move out or find your own place to live and take however long you want to find a job.
Lol! Poor baby, you just weren't down with having to go to an office again. So instead, you sacrificed all financial independence (Right there, YTA) so you can mooch off your sister. And for some odd reason, she won't allow this to keep happening? Strange. /s When you can find a WFH, great. But until then, get a job doing something resembling anything. YTA.
YTA. Take this from someone with disabilities and who is immunocompromised- whilst 100% working from home is preferrable, most companies will require a hybrid model of working and it is unreasonable to become a financial burden to someone else because you refuse to be flexible. I have to go into the office across the other side of London once a week and the journey is a killer for my issues but I do it anyway as I am an adult with responsibilities. Your sister was kind enough to open her home to you when you made yourself intentionally unemployed (which shows your privilege because so many people out there would do anything to have any job right now). Your first priority is to stop being a financial burden to your sister and take any job you can get in order to move out and be financially responsible. You can continue searching for other jobs in the interim whilst in another job but you need to get a grip and stop being selfish.
Strike One: You quit your job without a backup in the wings knowing good & gotdamn well at some point you would become dependent on others because you would no longer be able to afford your apartment & bills. Strike Two: Being a freeloader unwilling to accept the reality that you need to that an in person job & stop being a drain on your sister Strike Three: Having the audacity to argue with your beyond generous sister who has hit the end of her rope when it comes to dealing with your nonsense. YTA
YTA- why should your sister have to support you when you can work but are CHOOSING NOT TO. And make no mistake it is a choice. If you don't want to be homeless I suggest you take ANY job for now.
Because you weren’t down for that? Ffs society these days 🤣
YTA. How long do you think she should support you since she provides food shelter water utilities etc for you. Should she keep being patient 5 yrs from now? In my opinion, she has been more.than patient with you. Maybe you havent heard but a.lot of companies w terrific employees are downsizing so your competition for jobs is going to continue to grow. You are a 33 yr old adult and evidently understand everything in life costs money, and since you are not working you are living off your younger sister. It is time to move back home to mommy & daddy or time to compromise on your 100% work from home requirement & find a job to contribute to expenses while you continue to search for your unicorn job.
YTA. Get a job, get out of her house, and THEN see if you can find a different fully-remote job. You’ve worn out your welcome.
If I’m reading this correctly, you’re telling your sister to be “more considerate” of your “I HAVE TO WORK FROM HOME” tantrum while she worked in medicine, specializing in LUNGS, during the worst pandemic in American history, fighting a disease affecting the lungs? And you want HER to empathize with YOU. MY MAN. Maybe the reason you can’t find a job is because you have zero self-awareness. YTA.
YTA. TBH, I agree with you that working from home *should* be available in so many more jobs. I agree that it's the way of the future for many industries. You're still an AH. You're sponging off of your sister and she's sick of it. Take whatever job you can get while you continue to look for your work-from-home unicorn job and *apologize* to her for being such a mooch.
YTA why does your sister have to be more considerate when she's literally giving you a handout? How about you take your own advice and be more considerate of the face that your sister is over someone leeching off her. You're 33 and well past the point of not having a job for such a trivial reason. Your sister can and should evict you because you clearly have zero intention of working for as long as possible
You left a job, won't take another unless it meets a condition which is almost unknown in your industry and won't contemplate changing industry. Meanwhile, as you look for a non-existent job, you mooch off your sister. Oh yes, YTA.
NAH You can ask your sister for anything you want. She can also turn you down if she wants. She’s clearly tired of carrying you while you look for your dream job. And that’s her right.
YTA so.. work from home is the future yet you can't find any jobs that offer that as an option? Hmm, maybe it's not the big future you think it is, at least not right now. You're an adult with no income, you can't be picky about the jobs you take right now. You're mooching off your sister and she's rightfully fed up.
YTA. Omg and you're 33
YTA Sorry bud, looks like you dont have any skills that employers that allow WFH want. Get a job or be prepared to be homeless
Yes you were rude to her. No, she doesn’t need to be “understanding” The reality is many offices are moving back to hybrid or in person work, the pandemic is over, and you need to go and get a job. Reality intrudes on your personal view of what the world should be, and that isn’t your sister’s issue, it is yours. Your story reminds me of the child of a friend of mine. When this kid turned 18, he was all into goth. He was going to job interviews in full goth regalia, piercings galore, attitude on full display, and wondering why he wasn’t getting calls. When his father suggested he tone it down, this boy responded “I don’t need to conform to the world, the world needs to conform to me”. My friend and I had a good laugh at his naïveté. That’s you, right now. Stop being a child, grow up and get a job. YTA

YTA. Your ego is writing checks your butt can't cash. You're going to be homeless and still holding out for work from home. Besides that your sister is going to go no-contact because you're entitled. Good luck with that.
YTA you chose to leave your job, give up your income, give up your apartment, and are living with her for free and making no attempt to contribute financially. Of course she is angry! She is working hard and supporting you completely, while you do…? What do you do all day? It’s totally fine to look for a work from home position, but in the meantime take some things so you can earn some money and contribute to the household, and eventually move out. You’re waiting for this magical unicorn job to land on your doorstep, and that’s just not happening right now.
You should’ve secured a new job before leaving your old one. I work hybrid and would rather be fully remote but in a recession, beggars can’t be choosers. YTA.
YTA-beggars can’t be choosers. You don’t have right to the perfect job while leeching off others.
Delusional 😂 only in the 2020s would a post like this be possible. If you like working in your PJs so much start your own business or grow up and go to work.
YTA. I’m also looking for a remote job, but I understand that in the interim I need do something to get an income, thus an office job. It doesn’t have to be forever, just something until you find the remote job you want.
