Would you give up remote work for a higher salary? Working from home has its perks — no commute, more flexibility, and, often, better work-life balance. It became common for many employees to work remotely during the coronavirus pandemic, and many workers came to prefer it. But now, with more companies pushing for a return to the office, the question is — what might it take to make employees give that up? A recent survey from Robert Half has found that for many Americans, a bigger salary might be enough. In fact, about two-thirds of US workers said they'd go back to the office full-time for more money. However, most said they would only do it if they got a pay increase of at least 10%. Of course, it's important to think before agreeing to give up working remotely. A bigger salary may sound good, but it might not mean more money in the end. You have to pay for things like gas, train tickets, parking and lunches. And parents may need to pay someone to watch their children while they're in the office. So before saying yes to an offer of more money to return to the office, make sure the increase actually covers these extra costs. If it doesn't, going back might not be worth it. Also, think about your time. Commuting can take hours each week — hours you could spend with family, relaxing, or doing something for yourself. That time is valuable too — maybe even more than money!
