My work are threatening to take away our extra day from home but this will add so much more to my monthly transport budget and they aren’t offering any kind of financial compensation, how is the best way to go about tackling this?

Make no mistake, many companies are now using "back to office" as a tactic to downsize without having to call it a layoff (which helps them keep their UI taxes lower). Sorry to say, they don't care about how your budget or personal situation might be negatively impacted - in fact they're counting on it.

Yeah I know some large media companies have done that recently to scare people off instead of having to lay them off.

Why are they threatening to take it away? There might be some room for you to highlight how you are more productive on that day, but most companies are more interested in full RTO.

I hate everything about RTO. Especially since I'm a better employee from home than I am the office anyway. It doesn't matter. They care about property values and encouraging people to quit instead of having to lay them off. There really is not much you can do except find a remote job elsewhere, and they are near impossible to find these days.

Find a better employer.

I started in the industry before covid and everyone was in 5 days a week and *shock* we didn’t get compensated for traveling to and fro work

Started a new job a year ago, high performer. My manager suggested a promotion to Product Manager since that‘s the work I’m doing, but that would be a 50% raise. Higher ups decided instead to make a “new role” (not PM), that has no analog in the company and is hard to price via Glassdoor, etc. I feel like this is to limit my promotion salary to something like 10% from where it currently is. Is there anything I can do? FWIW: I have a PhD from top 5 program and am working in that field. Thanks!

The new position while comes with a significant raise is a move to California. Any thoughts?
