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.

  • Get paid a bay area salary to work from home
  • Can live literally anywhere because you don't have to commute (meaning you get multiple extra hours a day where you aren't getting ready and traveling)
  • Don't have to pay for gas, buy lunch
  • Choose to live in a tiny apartment in the city instead of buying a small ranch in the countryside or a nice house a few hours away
  • Call it a pay cut when your "home office" (just a desk, monitor, and a filing cabinet) takes up 40% of your remaining space
  • Consider 50c worth of coffee a day "significant"

Just nuke the state jesus christ.

You’re forgetting about the food and snacks. Many of these companies provided free breakfast, lunch and dinner. Plus as many snacks as you could eat. The employee’s food bill has sky rocketed. Especially since they can’t cook and have to door dash every meal.

Door dash so so fricking r-slurred. Who in their right mind pays that insane mark up.

I make six figures and have unrestricted billable hours; it would be r-slurred of me to waste my time cooking unless I really wanted to.

Codecels because they can’t cook and are used to having meals provided for them.
