Employers have become more reasonable as they've recognized that telework provides huge benefits to employees at minimal or no cost to employers.  It's a great retention tool.

^^^ Fixed that for you.[/quote]

what are the benefits to employees? Commute is the only thing I can think of[/quote]

Commute is huge. But also not being in a distracting germ filled office, for me a more comfortable office (not freezing like my work office, more comfortable desk and chair), more comfortable clothes, access to full kitchen and thus better/healthier food options, ability to do chores/errands during lunch break.

The commute was there when you accepted the position.   The offices are exactly as germ filled as they were before.  If you have kids in school or daycare - you are FAR FAR more exposed to germs than any office.  I never get sick from work.  You can request the ac and chair be corrected. Every single office is "dress for your day" now.  Casual unless fancy customers are in.  We have a full kitchen (3 in fact) where I put all my lunch items. You can do chores and run errands during your office lunch break.  Face it - you want to get a 40hr week paycheck for 15 hour work.   You want to  wear sweats and pj bottoms.  You want to play with your kids when they get home.  You want to take calls from dance practice.  We get it. Admit it.

Really, stop, you don't know everyone's situation and what you think you know about me is not true. Even prior to the pandemic I would work from home on busy/tight deadline days because I got more done. We do billable hours, I need to track every hour I do, so no I cannot get away with a 15 hour work week. Good for you that you have a full kitchen in your office. We do not and I have never worked in a place that did. My office is an hour away from home, there are no errands I can do during lunch. Just because you can't work from home without jerking around doesn't mean others can't. [/quote]
