Americans Are Willing to Take Pay Cuts to Never Go into the Office Again

The going rate in my area is only about 10-20% higher than what I've been making working from home the past few years. That's not close to enough to make me consider onsite.

Recently, the situation is even more interesting: remote work has exploded, and now there are at least a few companies willing to pay me 300% or more of what I'm making now, to keep working from home.

Obviously, I'm not complaining. I can't help but wonder, though, what all the people who prefer being in the office are going to do.

Keep going into the office? Different strokes

I can certainly understand preferring the office. I'm not sure I can understand preferring the office when remote jobs pay 3x as much, though.
