Working from home for me is worth about $3,000 per year in gasoline alone.
And think about the savings in road rage stress, and time wasted commuting.
£2600 tube fare, and that’s not counting lunch, coffee etc.
About $7k in mass transit costs for me.
And then they wonder why I said “none” to “how many days a week will you be in?”
Where do you live that transit costs you that much? That’s astonishingly high.
Tristate area, commute to NYC, only option is a private carrier. Prices change based on the cost of fuel mostly, varies from $500-700/mo.
And yes, it’s absurd.
Edit: I should add that’s the discounted monthly option for 40 trips (so 20 days of commuting). If I pay each day, it’s $100/day, which is what I do now since I don’t commute in enough anymore to be worth any of the discounted commuter options.
The freedom to backpack around other countries while working remotely is worth about $20,000 per year to me
Assuming you only take 2 weeks off to make the math easy, every $4 per day you save equals $1,000 per year.
If you have decided to raise kids, the difference between paying for childcare and not is already quite the savings.
(52 weeks) - (2 weeks) = 50 weeks
(50 weeks) x (5 days/week) = 250 days
(250 days) x ($4/day) = $1,000
Party is over. My wife’s work recently mentioned no raises for remote workers.
Constructive termination imo.
Well she just needs a new job. This fight ain’t gonna a be won by staying at the same.e job anyway unless you are getting the raises and promotions, which doesnt really happen for vats majority.
Got to keep moving
Make them fire you. Openly campaign to unionize. You might actually win lol
Why does that matter? The best way to increase your salary is usually to change jobs every 1-3 years anyway.
Because in those 1-3 years, every year you stay in a job without a raise matching inflation you’ve received a pay cut.
Sure but chances are you would have the same issue if not changing jobs. The best way to get a raise is to change jobs.
I’m definitely in the 10k camp
