For all of you who think WFH is a soft perk, State Street receives a $2k per employee per year tax credit for this. Assuming 15k Boston employees, that $30M per year. Could be used to offset cutting us to the bone, but alas that’s a fools errand!

WFH has existed for all my working career (21 years). It started with IT to support production and expanded from there. In the early 2000s, working from home, especially during weather events or to accommodate medical appointments, was already common. The cost of its support has gone down significantly and many small companies do offer, especially newer companies because the infrastructure is designed to support from the get-go. The new non-VPN remote working technologies are already deployed at many companies.
WFH is a great benefit even if you only WFH once a week or if you have an appointment. If you have an appointment that is located in the opposite direction of your residence it makes sense to WFH for the remainder of the day. Of course if you can and want to WFH it is a great benefit. Many smaller companies don't have the resources that are necessary to allow some of their employee's to WFH.
Moral is so down i decided to WFH just so i dont get totally depressed
Usually the people who get to work from home are not that critical to the company.
They dont yet - its PROPOSED by gov baker
I work from home 4 days a week. It really depends on your manager and how much it matters if you are in the office.
WFH is a joke. Many managers actively discourage it or limit it to a specific number of days monthly.
