Why should he take a pay cut? His employer no longer has to spend money for his use of office space. The costs associated with having an office have been externalized onto the employee. If anything, he should be paid more for saving his employer those costs.
- the-dude 6y agoWhat if the employer still has a multi-year lease?
- morlockabove 6y agoThen when the lease expires, they can downsize. Or if they're growing, they can not lease additional space when they otherwise would have.

- bradleyjg 6y agoShould has nothing to do with it. Jobs that have non-monetary benefits, all other things held equal, have lower market clearing rates of pay. That could be job security, working with famous people, prestige, or in this case geographic flexibility.
- abnercoimbre 6y agoWhat is the idea behind getting paid less when working with famous people, or in a job that has prestige? That you can cash out on the side?
- bradleyjg 6y agoPeople just like those things, or at least enough do. There are lots of lawyers that want to wear a black robe, get called “your honor”, make decisions, being deferred to, and so on. So even though judges don’t make much money, comparatively speaking, there’s no shortage of people that want the job.
