Sure, but I'm positing that pay here is the entire issue (hence forest for the trees) comment. People tend to associate WFH with a cushy job.
You can find a hundred side effects of that - people who want to work in their underpants, not get ready for work, not shower, have a flexible schedule, etc., as individual 'inequalities.' If fixing the pay makes other complaints disappear, were they ever a primary factor?
FWIW, I do think the pendulum will shift in our lifetime. The 'You Call the Handyman' South Park really hit home for us, and I can totally see that now and even more in 20 or so years. Can you imagine needing something fixed in your house and trying to barter your skills? I sure can't!
- em-bee 3y agoIf fixing the pay makes other complaints disappear, were they ever a primary factor? i don't think this is the right question. of course, if i get paid more, i am willing to put up with worse work conditions. (to a degree). so the mere fact that pay makes the problem go away is not an indicator that this was not a real problem. more pay lets me compensate the problem otherwise. for example it may mean that me or my partner can reduce work hours instead of working from home.
