firstly inflation has outstripped pay increases for years.
next, work from home made people realise that the 2hours a day they spend travelling could be put to better use.
ultimately companies expect a lot from workers, and workers aren’t sufficiently compensated to make it worthwhile.
theres sufficient data to show that the additional free time work from home brings, is almost worth like 30%+ pay increase – but ultimately companies neither want to pay 30% more, nor give a couple of days work from home.
and no amount of free pizza or happy hours is going to off set that.
