One of the reasons I have been pushing hard for full work from home at my company is purely economical. Having to work from the office is actively degrading my quality of life, my wife and I have a child on the way and we are stuck in a 1 bedroom apartment because we simply cannot afford to buy a home anywhere in the city which my office is located. My pay would have to at a minimum double to even qualify for a mortgage in the city I am in.
It is not that I do not like going to the office (on occasion), its that going to the office degrades my life outside of the office.
- thex10 4y agoEconomically speaking, does your job not pay enough for you to afford a 2-3 bedroom apartment?
- llampx 4y agoInterestingly, I've had the opposite experience. Working from home full-time means an office, which is an extra room. One per person, if you have a partner (open office is acceptable at the office, not at home!) and this means a couple or family who could get by with a 2br apartment now needs a 3br one. The caveat is of course that I wanted to stay in the same city, or any city generally. I would get cheaper housing in a village, but I don't want to live in a village. Suburbs? Around Berlin where I live, they are not cheap.
