Is it normal for companies to remove remote contractor roles after hiring? I accepted a role advertised as fully remote contractor work, but later the company said they were reconsidering some remote roles due to business performance and process changes. Remote work was part of the original setup. How common is this, and is it generally considered fair practice for contractor positions?
