An hour spent commuting is 1/16th of your daily life, and that hour is by far the biggest risk to your life every day. You should be getting triple pay to ameliorate the hazard risk it represents.

    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).

      You would need more, because also paying for fuel or public transport, expensive lunch, maybe coffee…in my case I spent hundreds of dollars every month just from office related costs.

      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.
