My employer has been adding so many customer support positions and basing those in the office that we cannot bring the developer teams back into the office. That, combined with an INCREASE in productivity since working from home the plan for now is for all of the software dev teams to continue to work from home while the customer support team swells to occupy the whole space of the office.
But are they passing on the savings to the employees? Not everyone has the same internet access or home office amenities.
Hahaha, of course they aren't. Really, you should be able to calculate how much they paid for your facilities need (square footage of your workspace, connection, IT equipment, etc) and it should be directly reflected in your salary.....
