Some companies have taken this as an opportunity to lower wages for remote workers, but honestly, I kind of don't mind too much. Between being able to cook my own food and not having to commute, not having to pay for car repairs, etc, working from home honestly saves thousands per year. Plus, you really can't put a price on the enjoyment of not having to commute like 2+ hours per day. The quality of life benefits are immense. It's pretty great.

Being forced into an office just to have asses in seats sucks. I've done that twice before, and I don't want to do it again. There was no benefit for it for me. I'm glad I did it twice though, because it made me realize I don't want to do it.
