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? (lemmy.ca)

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 have done it both ways actually and I would take the 5 days WFH because I could still do the same amount of work in both scenarios and get paid the same. And on my "extra" 5th day of WFH I can just pretend to work and do whatever anyway.

Even if I had to actually work more, I'd still do WFH instead of commuting to the office because the commute and office + city experience just suck that much more.

I don't mind the one hour commute, I did it for 3 years going to college and my first job and I think 3 day weekends are the perfect amount of time between work weeks. Then again, I love the freedom of WFH. I can't choose.

If you are a contractor you can do both :)
