Nah. This is just trying to normalize paying workers less
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.
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.
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.
Yeah, work from the homeless shelter. /s
People should be paid more, not less. There’s enough wealth hoarding to prove the money is there.
