Be positive . . . make the most of it . . . but keep looking for remote rails opportunities . . . polish up your rails skills in the evening and start a side project/rails app to keep your skills sharp/improve them.

At work, stay positive, make the best of it, keep your head down and money coming in until you land a better remote gig.

Good luck sticking in there.

btw I don't think lawyers/HR is a good move unless something really serious happens.

If you need money now, make the best of it and keep looking for a rails gig or other local gig.

Good luck.

Thanks.

Rails gigs are good for getting some extra income, but my experience is that they don't last, and there's no way I can live only with remote gigs.

I mean, I've been freelancing for years and living off remote work for 2 years.

But the financial stability with remote work is nowhere as good as when you have a "real job".

What I'm trying to say is that when you are working remotely, you're not really a employee, as the company can and will go away from one day to another, and what options do you have then?

I'm talking about international remote work, now partial remote work with a local company might be another story.
