8% seems extremely low. You could double my pay and I don't think I'd stop working from home
It might be the average. Some pepole like working from office beacuse they feel lonely at home or they want to separate their work space from their home space.
Or don't have the space at home, especially if it's two or more people at a time
I'm lucky because I have room in the house for desks for me and my wife that are in different rooms, and not in our bedroom
That's a luxury many people don't have
Yeah, WFH full time doesn't keep me in good spirits. I like being able to do it 2-3 days a week because a lot of my job can be done remotely but since my work space is also the desk I game at WFH 24/7 felt like I was just living my life in one room. 8 hours sleep, 8 hours work, most of my spare time is spent on building computers or using computer programs/apps so it was just taxing to always be in the same room.
Felt like I was in prison. I like being at a site that requires physical installation that I can work on while also getting the backend configured remotely. It's a good mix.
That's what I'm saying. Unless they talk about hybrid then yeah it's equivalent to 8%, but if we're talking full remote try more like 800% raise to get me back into an office. lol
You could triple my pay and I'd still probably say no.
