Remote work: Employers are taking over our living spaces and passing on costs
- jppope 6y agoI mean I would agree with the author but then we'd both be wrong... Transportation costs are not modest when opportunity-cost for time is factored in (i.e. a $150K Software engineer doing a 1hr daily commute loses ~20K in time, that's before owning a vehicle etc) and working from home does not require a cleaning service.
- _theory_ 6y agoExactly. The cost and time of transportation would seem to far outweigh the cost of a home office in the long run. My main concession might be the cost associated with paying for high speed internet, if much of that bandwidth is going to be used for work purposes.
