Yeah, but how is it different from any other human interaction? Let's say you have a partner and you have a kink that makes you happy. But your partner doesn't share this kink with you, they aren't into it. What should you do? Should you force your partner into the kink so that you are happy? Or should you simply find others who share the kink with you and make yourself and others happy? You can't live your life thinking 'everyone but me should change to fit my desires'. With so many remote work options out there if it's deal breaker for you, it's easy to find work with another company or work for yourself. But yeah, you are correct - you lose a lot when you do that too. If your employer is great and your co-workers are awesome you can get remote work that you so desire but your new company and people might totally suck.

First you just talk about the subject openly to determine who has how much flexibility and if you can compromise and where.

Only when you reach the conclusion that you can reach compromise acceptable to both sides you say your goodbyes.

Yep. So basically the same approach can/should be used here too.
