Ok? But as hundreds of other people commenting said- he can move. What’s your solution? He said the area sucks and there’s no work. So you therefore need to either find an online job or move. You can’t just have no source of income or you can’t pay rent and you’ll be homeless. All of my friends work remote or hybrid. I don’t know a single person who goes to the office every day. A simple search on LinkedIn shows tons of remote listings. And I see a ton of entry level ones. Like I said, this isn’t 1980. He needs to make some kinda change and complaining won’t help.
