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: itβs 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. Theyβre 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.

Youβre 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 employeeβs food bill has sky rocketed. Especially since they canβt cook and have to door dash every meal.

Codecels because they canβt cook and are used to having meals provided for them.

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.
