Remote or hybrid workers, would you rather work a 4 day week on site, or WFH completely for 5 days a week, for the same pay? (lemmy.ca)

I know this will vary a lot, so hypothetically let’s say you currently WFH/work remotely at least 3 days a week. Your commute to work takes an hour max (door to door) each way. If you were given the choice of a 4 day week working onsite, or a 5 day week WFH (or as many days as you’d like) for the same pay, which would you choose?

If you set an example of wanting to be in the office, that will be expected of the rest of us... so yes, it kind of is forcing everyone else, if not to talk to you, at least to be in the office. That puts you on management's side of the war. No thank you.

I actually work in a company where anyone can work from home if they want. It's just that many of us chose not to for various reasons.

So I'm sorry for having a preference different than yours, but if your management uses me as a single example to keep people in the office against their will, I think that's s problem with the management, not with me.

Wow, you are so sure of yourself. Your needing others can’t possibly be the problem. Ok. Glad you don’t work for us.
