Remote Workers — Nearly a Quarter Won’t Return to the Office

JobLeads helps people find jobs. It also looks at why they do, or do not, take this job or that. The company released a survey of 1,500 remote workers. Almost a quarter — 23% — said they will not, under any circumstances, return to work in the office.

When pay raises are mentioned, most said they will not return no matter how much they’re offered. As soon as that statement was made, those who said they’d return for more money said that amount will have to be 20%.

At the same time, JobLeads analyzed four LinkedIn surveys done with 7,705 professionals between November of last year and February of this year. One of the surveys of 1,505 workers had 37% saying they’d rather give up social media than return to the office. Another 20% said they’d give up coffee before an office return.

Another of the LinkedIn surveys with 3,000 responses had 59% saying their work-life balance is the biggest benefit of working from home. Another survey found 74% indicating they’d pick a remote job over an office job even if it paid less.

The JobLeads study found remote workers saved between $2,000 and $6,500 a year and save 62 to 90 minutes a day because of no commute. When the time is tallied it translates to an extra 10 to 15 days of vacation a year.
