    Really? I felt I should be paid more since I’m not getting electricity, coffees, internet, heat, subsidized by my job for the increased usage.

      Depends where you are. Imagine losing 2 hours a day in traffic + buying lunches cause never room in fridge. I knew multiple coworkers that got hotels to stay in and took train back home for weekends because it was cheaper than living close to work or didn’t want to uproot family.
      Savings in those cases well outweighs 20%.

        But the inconvenience of all that shit sounds horrible and unnecessary and expensive too. Fuck commuting in traffic spewing CO2 to line some asshole’s pocket who doesn’t want me to have a normal standard of living.

            No, that’s the stupidest shit. Why should you take a cut in pay?? What warped mind fuck world are you living where you think you have to give up a fifth of your wages for this right??
