I really don't want to work for someone who reluctantly "allows" me to be in my home. Or someone who views it as a generous perk that might get taken away during tough times.

So, I think people who want in-office work should embrace it and advertise it loud and clear. This makes it easier for me to move on and find the other companies who see value in me building out a home office fine-tuned for my own productivity at little-to-no additional cost to the company.

At likely negative cost to the company.

They already pay me less because I work remotely, so it's priced in.

What I meant to say was, you're already saving them money by not going in. You're saving them the cost of office space, parking, etc.

And then as you've pointed out, on top of all that they're paying you less.

This is what they want. They are being brazen about it to make people unhappy enough to quit and go to those companies. Another easy round of layoffs for our wonderfully forward thinking CEOs.
