Should I subsidize my employer by reducing the need for them to rent an office space? They're basically now getting free space and shifting the cost to me. Same applies to the cost of electricity, heating (I'm at home 8hrs more than I would otherwise), time spent getting food / cooking, etc. There may be more hidden costs and some people may not be OK with their employer not participating in those. Everything's a choice, but I think people should be careful and make sure they are not cheating themselves out of something that the employer would normally provide (or at least make sure they're fine with it).
- loco5niner 6y agoYou're already subsidizing them by driving to the office, unless they are paying for your car, gas, and time. By working at home, I'm saving time and money. I'm happy to take the increased responsibility of creating a workable space. Most people end up doing that anyway and call it a workshop/sewing room/etc.

Bob working from home, costs $salary, say $10k a month Carl, working from office, costs $salary + office space Office space costs say $5k a month, so total $15k a month If all things are equal, who would be employed? Maybe Bob charges $14k a month, still undercutting Carl's $15k/month total.
