As someone fortunate enough to be able to negotiate - there is no way I will do office work ever again as long as it’s avoidable. I’d skip the country to enforce remoteness before calling an office my life.
So it’s not surprising to him that, when asked what work perks would get hybrid employees to return in-person more often, the No. 1 response was if their commuting costs were covered (38%), over other things like free food, child-care subsidies or a relaxed dress code.
Those aren’t perks, those are reduced but still unnecessary hardships. I don’t have a dress code, travel expenses, or travel time. Wake up and work when I’m most switched on.
Pro-office folk only care about control and realestate.
