Comment on Many workers would take a pay cut to work from home — some would forgo at least 20% of their salary

That’s why the 20% cut could be worth it. Now you can get more sleep in.

No, that’s the stupidest shit. Why should you take a cut in pay?? What warped mind fuck world are you living where you think you have to give up a fifth of your wages for this right??

Sure, sure, so just rephrase the statement. Many workers believe working in the office justifies 25% additional compensation (80 to 100% of what they are paid today). That doesn’t mean workers shouldn’t be paid more, it’s just capturing the delta in compensation required to justify in person work

I’m paying a fifth of my wage commuting and eating lunches alone. Taking the cut is a net positive. Like the other commenters said it’s totally bs that it has to be considered at all. No pay cut since is Needed since productivity doesn’t go down.
