Friendly reminder that if you work an 8 hour day and you have a 24 minute one-way commute (average US commute is 27.6), WFH is equivalent to a 10% raise just from the elimination of commute time. Realistically, with the various conveniences and avoided expenses, it's likely closer to a 20% raise for most people.

That employers aren't jumping for joy that they can offer such a massive benefit for essentially free (if not save money themselves) is astounding.
