Productivity? Let's look at that another way.
Assume that people in the office are 5% more productive than people at home. Just assume that's true. That matters... to the company.
But if I work from home, I have a 30-second commute. Assume I have a 30-minute commute to work, so an hour a day. That turns an 8-hour day of work into a 9-hour hit on my time. From my perspective, that makes me 12% less productive.
There's a way to work this out equitably. You want me to work in the office? Pay me more. Make WFH vs. RTO part of the terms of employment, and adjust the salary to match. It's worth more to the company? Fine. Pay for it. Not working in the office is worth something to the employee? OK, but you get less money for it.
- MindBeams 2y agoThat would be horrible for workers. Let's not establish that sort of precedent; if you do the job, remote or not, you get paid equally. Even assuming a slight productivity bump, John doesn't deserve more money than Dave just because he schleps himself to the office.
- northhanover22 2y agoI disagree with that. If I do the job twice as well as someone else (twice as productive) I would expect to be paid twice as much.
