   Compensation & Remote Work vs Compensation & In Office Work

   What we talked about on this episode: This episode was inspired by a TT video I saw where someone shared their remote compensation, hybrid comp, and in-office comp expectations. It was said they ask for $20k more for in-office jobs and the person dueting it seemed shocked. My response was good for them BUT that’s it? Let’s talk about it. Should you have different compensation expectations for a remote job vs a job you would be required to go into the office? For simple math. Let’s say your hourly rate is $40/hour. Your commute: 1 hour per day, 30 minutes each way. $40 x 5 x 50 weeks per year = $10,000 15 miles each way, so that’s 30 miles per day round trip. 30 x 5 x 50 = 7500 miles you’re putting on your car each year. The federal mileage rate right now is $.67/mile and at 7,500 miles we are looking at: $5,025 Time and mileage just for your commute is now at: $15,025 per year Food: Buy lunch 2x a week and bring lunch 3x a week $10, which is conservative for a meal these days $10 x 2 per week x 50 weeks per year =1,000 extra on food Between commute and food, we are now at $16,025 Clothes: Unless you can wear the same shit you can at home, in the office, you have to account for additional clothing expenses. Let’s say $2,000 a year on the lowest end. Now we are at $18,025 just in expenses for commute, food, and clothing. We haven’t factored anything in for the inconvenience. These are simply expenses. Truly, do the math. What makes sense? Hybrid = I’d do 75% of whatever the in-office number you come to is. If companies are hell-bent on getting people back into the office, awesome, compensate accordingly. Thank you for taking the time to listen, watch, and be here! I appreciate you!
