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.
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.
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.
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.
Nah. This is just trying to normalize paying workers less

why is this corpo shit paper permitted in pro worker sub?
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.
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.
