I’ve been working remotely since 2013. Occasionally I will ponder what it would take for me to commute to an office again. The current price is $2m+/yr and I’m gone and retired for good, as in not answering any phones for any price, after a year or two.
I’d work a year or two, pay off my house, cover the roof in enough solar panels to provide 200% of my current energy use with battery backup for 2-3 days at full usage and probably try to buy some land in a place unlikely to be affected by climate change where I could build a farmstead myself at my own pace.
If my current job said I had to come into the office with no pay raise then I would quit on the spot and shut off all communication.
We have no compassion and we ask no compassion from you. When our turn comes, we shall not make excuses for the terror.
I have a few but The Private Sector is a good one.
