Seeing more and more fully remote Dev jobs and I love it!

I'm also seeing the average salary drop though...

@sariel ah

We finally made it! Working away from the office!

We also cut our salary, but who the fuck cares as long as we can live with it?

The salary will go back up :3 but the remote is to stay

I mean, transport costed me £250 per month to the office, I'd take the paycut for those savings anyday lol

@ZioCain I can't live with it. I won't live with it.

I won't lose $20-40k a year because it's a "remote" job.

If anything, I should be getting paid more. I'm taking all the risk. I have to provide:

- a work environment
- IT support
- office utilities (electric/gas, internet)
- office tools (paper, printer, scanner, fax)

Just in 2021 alone my power bill was $200 extra a month. That's due to running the heating/cooling more because we're home 24/7 now.

Grocery costs were up an additional $200 a month due to being home all day.

I get zero benefits from the office while working from home other than the obvious, working from home.

I digress. These fuck-sticks are going to try to weasel their way out of trying to pay us what we're worth. Don't let them.

United we stand, divided we beg.

Applying for a 100% remote job atm. Really exciting :)

@sariel who the hell uses paper/printer/scanner/fax regularly these days? And did you get free lunches at the office? In my case the money spent on food dropped dramatically since I no longer eat lunch at work.

@electrineer just because you aren't required doesn't mean others aren't.

And yes, free lunches.

Regardless, there's a cost associated to working from home and a savings for companies with remote positions.

@sariel the big savings come into play if you can choose to live in a cheaper area no one wants to live in because there are no jobs around.

@electrineer that's the standard cost of living that's always been factored into salary negotiations.

Just because a dev in San Frantokyo can make $275k doesn't mean the dev working remote in Omaha is going to get paid that.

In my area, positions were around the national average. Now they are $20-40k less than they were a year ago. Do you think the executives took a pay cut?

No, they got raises.

For all the shit COVID caused, this was a good thing.
