I work from my home office except when I have to fly to visit client offices. I, personally, save a lot from not having to have two cars, the extra gas, parking, but the main thing is I have two hours a day of not having to be in a car being unproductive.<p>For me, being able to work from home is a huge reason I'm sticking with me current employer. If I were to take a new job, the pay increase would have to be fairly substantial to cover the additional costs for me to commute.<p>So in a sense, I suppose I'm making less now than I could be, because I enjoy the benefit of working from home. I guess that's similar to the idea of a pay cut.
I work remotely. As a result, I save my employer a ton of money, so I'm not keen on the idea of taking a pay reduction. In fact, I already take a hit on the city wage tax, even though I live and work outside of the city.
Snarkily, the article makes me wonder how many people can work remotely as Cisco. I did some work there as a contractor ages ago, and it was a very very very cubicle focussed place. Good cafeteria, though.
