No it is not. You get to replace the social parts of the job too, and pay for the place to be prepared for the job, if at all possible.

WFH really means convert your room into an office or rent a coworking space. Is anyone paid extra for that? Nope! And it's really not for everyone either, you cannot get interactive with coworkers in the same way.

Real estate in places close to work is already so expensive that with anything further you can easily afford a whole additional room.

As for the social aspect - to the degree it's possible at work you can cultivate that online and during occasional get-togethers. It's not worth the time waste and environmental destruction associated with commuting.

Never thought of the social aspects. I am married with kids and have a strong social cricle. I guess it's harder for the people that are missing those.

As to converting the room into an office, I think everyone that works with a computer has a desk and a chair at home. You just need to put the company machine on it.
