What do you think? 10% of your salary? 20%, 30%...
Can you put a number on it. For example, would you chose an in-office job, all other things being equal (except for the current job being 'from home')88, for a 20% raise?

I love working from home. The flexibility I have now feels unreal. Not sure about the monetary value, but it makes me more loyal to the company, for sure.
I’m agreeing with @ @1xqe+1dBNtyYN. Allstate is so cheap now their wanting us to utilize direct connecting, however it takes more time out of the day to just complete that. Keep me at home and I will continue to blaze it up writing estimates and having my daily beers at 1.
WFH means I now receive twice the work while our customers receive half the service. I don't know how the company can justify paying so many independent adjusters now except...oh yeah...they laid off so many good adjusters already. What a major FU that was because now we're understaffed, overworked, overstressed and the customers suffer. I just spent an hour on the phone getting some grandma to measure the rooms in her house because Allstate is now too cheap to send a qualified adjuster to her house. I hate myself for still working here because I care too much. The stress is ki----g me slowly.
This is dangerous thinking. WFH is not a benefit you should be willing to pay for.
If WFH didn’t benefit the company, it would not be allowed.
If they did not think they could squeeze every nickel of value out of you while you WFH, you’d be let go or required in the office. Period.
Yet you’d be willing to entertain accepting 10, 20, or even 30% less for the “privilege” of saving your employer money while still excelling at your job? No thanks. I know my value.
I wouldn’t take a pay cut on it for Allstate. Most of us are already underpaid due to years of Allstate successfully selling us on work-life balance over salary competitiveness. What I save with commuting convenience and expenses, we are now even.
Allstate benefits with us at home too. Most of us are more focused, start earlier, end later, are more engaged and happier, all with uncertainty and job insecurity looming. Allstate saves huge huge huge dollars daily on everything from cleaning staff to utilities to security and will make a small fortune selling the Northbrook property. It’s prime real estate right there on the interstate exchange.
To have to commute to an office again, I would not consider it for anything less than a 50% raise at this point
I will take a new job with 20% raise. Corporate makes profit too. They are selling HO ... So it is not one way street.
I believe it is worth a 30percent raise. Less distractions and it will beat out the competition and cover the cost of the runaway inflation that's happening right now.
