[LTJunir]

Chase the money. Coworkers don’t pay your bills and don’t necessarily make work environments better. Do what’s best for your bottom line.

[albertog.]

I don't go to work to build relationships. I go to work for money.

[Sebastian-lvdv]

Dude, take the job. Look out for yourself first. There’s no loyalty in corporate America.

[MohammedAhmed-bczd]

My wife has been working remote before the pandemic and her productivity actually went up. It depends on the person..

[beccadotelpy]

I have never made a lasting friendship at work. That's anecdotal but so is Dave's story about his company. I would 100% take the remote job and bank the extra 30k. If I hate it I can quit. If it hasn't been long... see if my old job can take me back. You can always quit. Who cares if he's not there when he's 30? Careers don't work like anymore.

[CardenFinancial]

Take the new job. Do not be blindly loyal to a company that would fire you tomorrow 💯

[cathyosullivan]

I saved so much money during the pandemic when I was working from home. I always ate lunch and made coffee at home. I didn’t have to pay for work clothes, parking, gas etc. There are definitely perks to working from home.

[dashadynamite]

I work from home as an engineer and there’s NO appealing reason for me to want to work in a cubicle. Boomer alert 🚨 it’s a no from me.

[brigeePM]

Lol I don't think you need to work in person at a job to have a social life. You can make friends outside of a work scenario with hobbies and meetup groups. Don't let work be your whole LIFE if you don't want it to be.

[j.mney]

I work a hybrid schedule so part at home and part at the office. Great blend of both worlds. Companies that are flexible in this new work environment will have less turnover.

[bigd]

I would take the remote work because, If they try to shut down the whole country again, then it would be the smartest choice in my opinion

[jeanpierrerideout]

This should come with a BIG disclaimer as he has a significant interest in commercial real estate. As he mentioned before, "he is sitting in a 100 million dollar paid-for building". Going remote would shave millions off the value.

[SensSword]

Dave's losing his edge. For every supposed study coming out about how remote is bad, more spring up that say the opposite. Offices are expensive. Having workers do the job at their own house using their own electricity saves money. For every advantage for being in proximity to coworkers, there's as many or more disadvantages especially with regards to distractions. Why would I pay $3000 (or effectively $5k in salary after taxes) to work in an office that's filled with distractions?

[rachelharrison]

During the pandemic, I started a job that was designed to be remote no matter what. The members of my team were from all over the country. We bonded as strongly as any in-person job could possibly have. In fact, my husband (working remotely in the next room) kept asking me why I laughed so hard during our daily “meeting”.

[maximusdecimusmeridius]

Loyalty to your employer gets you no where anymore. Those days are over

[DavidMedic]

Normally I agree with Dave but I think he’s biased in this particular answer. Studies have shown that ppl are more productive and save a lot of money working remote.

[plantsthewin]

LOL..going to the office is a HUGE distraction. People coming to my office to BS. I get far more done working remotely. Dave just wants to justify forcing people to come into the office. Coworkers are NOT family members, Im fine seeing them on zoom. Just stop Dave, and Im 47...the youngsters are right on this one. I see NO value in going all the way to the office to do the SAME EXACT work that I can do in the bedroom right next to mine. Waste of time and GAS!

[cm__ny]

I would have taken that remote job so quickly! I save so much money working from home not having to commute. Best decision I made. Dave's advice is so OLD SCHOOL. I am much more happy as a full-time remote worker. I prefer to be alone. He's dead wrong. Company loyalty is dumb. I hope he took the pay increase. It was a significant pay increase.

[jstyleent]

Work from home definitely increases productivity. Been working from home way before the pandemic. Dave is old school so he prefers in office work. I respect his views but young people are looking for more flexibility.

[MRDDev]

Ah yes, the boomer in Dave full on display. There is no reason to not be remote unless your job specifically requires to be on the field.
