Two guys standing at the pump at a Shell gas station. The guy at pump 2 holds up the gas pump nozzle to his ear and tells the guy at pump 1 “Apparently, if you hold a Shell pump to your ear you can hear the shareholders laughing at you”.
FWIW, I agree it's not a binary, all or nothing situation. That said, circumstances change constantly (e.g., management no longer allowing remote work, divorce with joint custody of kids, or infinite other possibilities) that make a previously workable situation no longer work. I think the parent poster is correct, and the circumstances enabling relocation (including, but not limited to money) cannot be presumed.
