Money makes them think about value. When I took my current job in 2016 I wanted more than they could pay, they wanted me to be based in an office (Oh it would only be officially we dont mind you working from home)

We compromised, my contract says I work from home and they pay me for my time and travel if I go somewhere, and they can afford me.

Can they justify paying you an extra $50k a year (or $10k, or $100k) just to have you in an office?
