Employers offering remote and hybrid work options hire new talent more quickly than companies making employees to return to the office.

    At least. If you work an 8 hour day, a 0.5 hour commute each way adds an extra 12.5% to work time commitment each day, and it’s considered unpaid time.

          That depends a LOT on the car.

          A small suzuki would be a hell of a lot cheaper than a BMW 7 series… (not in the price tag, but… running costs)

        • You might need to buy additional food
        • Wear and tear of work attire
        • Might need to pay extra for someone to watch pet/child

        Also there are additional costs of time

        • Extra time shaving or similar (if you know you are staying home some things can be delayed a bit)
        • Possibly extra time to prepare food
        • Traffic/weather delays
        • Extra effort for small things easily manage while at home e.g accepting deliveries, watching pets or opening for maintenance workers

        That’s of the top of my head, so 1 hour lost per day is a low estimate.

        Yeah, for me WFH is a lot more than 8% raise. It’s a lot cheaper. We were paying to work and didn’t even realized it
