    I absolutely will not part with pay to work from home. I will work for my regular pay, from home, instead of from work. If my job even attempts to lower my pay, I’m out and looking for a different one.

    No compromises. Most of us are already underpaid when we do the job on-site.

      I’m on board with you there.

      They’re trying to bring us in 1 day a week right now because “The costs to remodel the offices and sublet a separate area are the same as if we just keep the space.”

      Well, fuck off with that. I find a reason every week to not go in. I think it has been 4 months now.

      If my boss gets pissy, so be it. I’m less efficient having to readjust to a separate working environment with all the distractions. I make sure I get less done whenever I have to be there…

      Sounds like you’re sticking to your guns, that’s a good thing. But also don’t go bitching if your job fires you because you don’t want to go back you were going to look for one anyway

        Yeah, that was a nonsense response. The article wasn’t about reducing the pay of current employees.

        Why would I complain? I’d just look for a different one. I’d do that whether I voluntarily quit or if I got fired. I don’t work in a field with very good job security so I always have a few backups planned.
