Yeah in most cases if a job gave you a 25% increase for always in office and you are wfh you would be better off staying work from home unless your wage was inadequate to begin with (which unfortunately it often is).
Comment on The time and expense of commuting is theft, if that job can be done from home.

If you do the math, its just horrible. If you have one hour to work, its 2 hours every day just getting to and back from work, which is 10 hours per week.
So you are spending more than an entire work day every week in traffic!
Isnt that just insane? If you are working from home, you have 10 hours of free time every week. The value of that is insane. You could go to gym, spend time with family, learn how to cook, whatever. Its a lot of time.

You would need more, because also paying for fuel or public transport, expensive lunch, maybe coffee…
Its scary how bad it is for us to go to an office. Sure, if you single and you need coworkers to not feel lonely, it may be worth it. But im super happy not going.

yeah 25% the equation still leans wfh (ie from above: you would be better off staying work from home) but somewhere over that it becomes a fair trade off if you like money.

Small tech social media is just as bad at sucking all that time up. Ask me how I know :(

At least it’s your own brain exploiting you instead of some shadowy cabal of advertising execs?
