A good desk (including dock, monitors, chair, rent etc) works out in my city to about $15,000pa. How about you work from home and get paid to maintain your desk?

this is the way. clearly this is capital non sense.

I would work from home for a 20% cut. Which day do they want cut, Friday or Monday?

EDIT: I’m agreeing with you here. My tone was probably confusingly aggressive. I just meant to add the idea that managers wouldn’t even know if WFH was good or bad let alone know whether you should keep your full pay.

How about we decide on what doing the job actually is, in a way that can reasonably be measured, and then see if we can do it better from home or the office?!

I’ve always felt that the elephant in the room on this is that remote work highlights the incompetence of management. And so instead of embracing the notion that remote work can work well provided the work force is well orchestrated, they’ve embraced fear mongering around uncontrolled labour.
