Commuting by car is really, really expensive -- to the worker (in fuel, time, and stress), to the polity (in road maintenance, traffic collisions, etc.), and to the environment as well.
Most of the costs are borne directly by the worker without compensation. Although a worker is required to commute to work, commute time is not considered part of an hourly worker's working hours, nor is it considered a tax-deductible business travel expense.
Now I pay for the electricity and my home office space and it is still significantly cheaper than just what I used to pay in gas. Screw going back in to the office.
Do you receive a compensation from your employer for electricity/internet/phone plan ? Then it is way cheaper !
No, they don’t compensate me at all for it.
The fraction of my electric and internet bill consumed by remote work is negligible.
