    I work for a FANG company and 2 years ago I willingly took a 13% pay cut on the condition I could work from home permanently. The pay cut hurt but my productivity and output jumped so high that received a promotion along with bump in pay a year later. Being a tech company, they track a lot of metrics around productivity and I know I am 28% more productive when working from home. I refuse to return to an office just because of office politics and drama that distracts me from doing my job. I’m not there to socialize.

          You have no choice but to work for these companies? Lol.

          How does anyone survive without working for them?

            People get tied into locations because of family and mortgages, it’s reductive to say what you did.

              So there’s no way for those people to leave?

              Doing so would mean death?

              Or do you think the only viable solutions are easy ones?
