Now I pay for the electricity and my home office space and it is still significantly cheaper than just what I used to pay in gas. Screw going back in to the office.

Do you receive a compensation from your employer for electricity/internet/phone plan ? Then it is way cheaper !

[–] PlasmaDistortion@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

No, they don’t compensate me at all for it.

The fraction of my electric and internet bill consumed by remote work is negligible.
