Work Remotely From Home Or Get A $30,000 Raise To Come To The Office?

The San Francisco Business Times May 13, 2021 reported on a survey taking by Blind, an anonymous professional network, who asked over 3,000 employees if they would rather work from home permanently or get a $30,000 raise and 64% said they would rather work from home.  Employees of two companies  would take the cash over working from home, only 47% of JPMorgan Chase would prefer working from home, and only 42% of Qualcomm. Amazon workers had 64% preferring home, and 62% of Microsoft and 67% of Google choosing home over the extra cash. In another survey conducted by Littler, an employment law firm, “Only 4% of respondents believe their workers prefer a full-time return to in-person work, but 28% of employers plan to have most employees return on a full-term basis. The survey found 71% of employers believe their workers would prefer a hybrid model with remote options, but only 55% of employers plan to offer that setup.”
