The laptop class is suing their bosses to pay for their home offices, including rent and electricity costs. San Francisco subreddit slapfights about whether this is r-slurred or not

I'm amazed how entitled people can be sometimes. I remember during one meeting that we were talking about work from home, a guy asked the question if the free coffee and snacks that we got in the office can be reimbursed since we are working from home.

You can snark all you want - it's effectively a pay cut for working from home. That's part of the compensation. Are you for employers giving pay cuts to people who work from home?

Edit: it’s hilarious how folks are pro pay cut and giving their employer free rent.

Companies can stop shoveling money into offices and start putting some of that money into supporting their employees.

It would be a pittance in comparison. They really need to abandon the sunk costs those buildings represent.

Good. WFH is a scam if my house is small I must be compensated to give up space for work

Does your employer not offer the option to go back into the office?

Oh I never left but I think this is the newest way jobs are screwing over workers. They’re saving money on this and need to compensate for it

I am using one room in my 3 bedroom townhouse as the home office. I am paying $4500 per month for mortgage + electric usage for monitors, laptops and work stations. The combined cost (electricity + the hidden cost of office taking space) is at least $1000 per month.

EDIT: I am not pro-RTO. I personally still enjoying WFH even it means that working setup takes my personal space. I just want people to be aware that companies also save money by letting people WFH. No office leases, no electricity and maintenance worker etc.

These commute costs don’t even come close to the rental increase of a small additional room for work use, without which both my productivity and mental health degrade.

Sucks to suck, rentoid. Maybe be less of a fricking kitty.

Maybe they should overcome the stockholm syndrome they've developed for the egregiously expensive urban hellhole they inhabit and move the frick out.

Way more room for funko pops though. An SF salary could buy a rural property big enough to have multiple rooms dedicated to pop display and storage.

  • additional hour of exercise a day (commute is exercise for me) in sunshine
  • social interactions with a wider set of people
  • healthier eating patterns given planned/packed lunch

He has to go to work to be forced to exercise, talk to people, and eat meals at the right time. Maybe just, like, have some self-control?
