My CTO has been researching this (large 30K emp. software company) and the current consensus seems to indicate that ~60% of the workforce is expected to continue to work remote. Offices will be redesigned as collaboration spaces, where (when it becomes safe) people will converge from time to time for specific activities, but the follow-up and rest of the work will be remote.

I fully support this, and I to a degree, I've been doing it for 6 years already, and I find it extremely effective.

And no, I would not take a pay cut. Companies pay for what I bring to the table. As long as they get what they want from me, it should be irrelevant where am I.

I actually make the argument that you should pay me more if I work from home.

If you aren't going to be paying for a workspace, a lab environment, electricity, etc. for me to do my job, I'll be the one paying for those things, so give me more money to pay for it.

If you're not going to pay for an office for me to use, pay me enough to afford a larger home with a dedicated office space.

I get tax credits for using my home as a work environment, so I can expense a portion of my Internet bill and some other stuff.
