There are more things in life than money. A 50% bump in salary when you’re making 50k vs when you’re making 200k is very different. I don’t make a ton of money but I do make enough to want to stay remote and have a better quality of life than go in to the office, drop my productivity, increase my commute, decrease my health, reduce time spent with loved ones, create mental fatigue and so on for myself

i need job Do you want to invite your country to work?

Yes

I am in the office. People do stupid things to their machines and want them fixed immediately, so they have to bring the things in. We also have on-site programming for our participants, so it’s the job.

How about would you rather be fired than go into office 4 days a week

Honestly about 5% would be my number.
I’m 3 already so it’s not a big difference.
(About 5% pay cut per day of remote feels about right)

Learned the hard way but the correction process is smooth at least in Chicago.

I think I need to leave NYC. I love it in theory but being single, living alone and WFH is destroying my mental health. I love how much there is to do here, but it’s really hard when you don’t have a go-to person or people to do it with.

I have good friends, but nothing close enough to make me feel like I’m not totally alone here. I think it might be easier to go somewhere with less happening. Fewer reminders of loneliness.
