I never want to go back to the office

As someone in tech, I've been remote for a few years already. But I'm not sure I ever want to go back to the office. I live in a pretty expensive city and the only thing that keeps me here is I don't want to leave my friends behind. <br><br>Even if I moved to the middle of nowhere, I know I'd be forced to move again in another 5 years if my company decides to have everyone move. <br><br>I have a hard time believing I'm the only one who feels this way. I'd like to know if there are other companies where you can work remotely forever. <br><br>Also, I've heard of companies that have unlimited PTO but I don't really know how it works in practice. Can anyone explain? I don't want a policy where I'm forced to go on vacation and never come back. <br><br>&#x200B;<br><br>Edit: Sorry everyone, didn't know this would get popular. Glad to know everyone is feeling the same. Yeah unlimited PTO is pretty much useless. It's great for a week long vacation, but for anything long term I know my manager would probably say no. <br><br>And yeah, I'm under no delusions that remote is the future. YouTube is already full of videos explaining why you need to return to the office (according to Americans).
