Really? I felt I should be paid more since I’m not getting electricity, coffees, internet, heat, subsidized by my job for the increased usage.
Depends where you are. Imagine losing 2 hours a day in traffic + buying lunches cause never room in fridge. I knew multiple coworkers that got hotels to stay in and took train back home for weekends because it was cheaper than living close to work or didn’t want to uproot family.
Savings in those cases well outweighs 20%.But the inconvenience of all that shit sounds horrible and unnecessary and expensive too. Fuck commuting in traffic spewing CO2 to line some asshole’s pocket who doesn’t want me to have a normal standard of living.
That’s why the 20% cut could be worth it. Now you can get more sleep in.
Bullshit unless the company is making 20% less off my work suddenly…it’s a win win for business don’t let them pay less rent and you less salary.
I somehow believe they get a tax cut from city or something that has to be worth more than emptying the building for 3 days.
Nah. This is just trying to normalize paying workers less
Perhaps we should be able to work from home where the work itself permits and also get paid the same amount. Fuck off with the push polling.
You get what you pay for. You want to 20% discount someone that works just as hard as the in office bro? Then don’t be surprised when you end up hiring the kind of workers that will allow themselves to be paid at 20% discount.
Some can perhaps afford to give up 20% of their salary. Good for them. Many of us don’t have that wiggle room.
For me giving up the commute would basically pay my 20% that I forgo. My gas bill is like $400 a month and 90% of that is for my work commute.
Yeah that’s how I interpret it: 20% covers the cost of commuting. Factor in the time of commuting and getting ready, and 20% doesn’t sound that crazy.

why is this corpo shit paper permitted in pro worker sub?
As part of our push to retain work from home after covid I pointed out that my cost savings per year between time (at overtime rates), food, and transportation was $10,000 dollars and all they needed to provide was an extra power block and mouse+keyboard. They had already given me an unintentional raise, and I wanted to keep some of it.
Ended up hybrid which works out great since there are some people that need to communicate in person, but two days a week meets that need and the other three days I can be productive on other stuff and with people who can communicate remotely.
People shouldn’t take a pay cut to work remote, they should treat it as a benefit that doesn’t need to be part of their paycheck.
It’s part of your total compensation. Or so goes the buzzword.
