Remote or hybrid workers, would you rather work a 4 day week on site, or WFH completely for 5 days a week, for the same pay?
I know this will vary a lot, so hypothetically let’s say you currently WFH/work remotely at least 3 days a week. Your commute to work takes an hour max (door to door) each way. If you were given the choice of a 4 day week working onsite, or a 5 day week WFH (or as many days as you’d like) for the same pay, which would you choose?

I've been WFH full time since early covid, so WFH for sure. My commute wasn't even bad, my office is less than 10 minutes away.
I'm not a social person so there is no upside to going into the office for me. Everything to do with my job must be communicated by email so it's documented, so it's just a waste of time if someone wants to chat in person or on the phone about it.
Plus I don't have to wear pants.
The one downside is my dogs seem to have developed separation anxiety since I'm around all the time.
I feel really sad for all the doggos that were bought as lockdown puppies.
Not sure if you understood the question, you'd work just 4 says a week onsite (and in total). You'd have one extra day free.
...yes, and? I don't want to work on site. My WFH schedule is flexible enough that I don't need an “extra day free”. I don't think it's worth it. Working fewer days isn't always better for everyone.
