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.
