Workers are ready to give up pay and benefits to stay remote, survey finds

Remote workers aren't ready to let go of their home office and would take a pay cut or give up benefits to never return to the office.

Almost two-thirds of remote workers or those looking for a remote job are ready to take a 5% pay cut to work from home, according to a survey by Breeze of 1,000 workers. Almost 1 in 4 said even a 15% pay cut would be an acceptable tradeoff, while 15% of workers are ready to sacrifice a quarter of their pay to not go to the office.

"Remote work is really becoming a new employee benefit," Colin Nabity, Breeze’s CEO & Co-founder, told Yahoo Finance Live (video above). "Employers need to look at this holistically to realize that to compete in a post-COVID world, the flexible work environments are so incredibly important to remaining competitive."
