drekly comments on The back-to-office backfire: Companies ending WFH perks lose out on top talent, who view flexible work as equivalent to an 8% raise

8% seems extremely low. You could double my pay and I don't think I'd stop working from home

It might be the average. Some pepole like working from office beacuse they feel lonely at home or they want to separate their work space from their home space.

Or don't have the space at home, especially if it's two or more people at a time

I'm lucky because I have room in the house for desks for me and my wife that are in different rooms, and not in our bedroom

That's a luxury many people don't have

That's what I'm saying. Unless they talk about hybrid then yeah it's equivalent to 8%, but if we're talking full remote try more like 800% raise to get me back into an office. lol

You could triple my pay and I'd still probably say no.
