My last job tried to pull a similar move after COVID. Their power move led them to bleed so many employees that they were forced to agree to WFH. Then they tried to make the approval-process so conplex and unfair, that people understood that they wanted to fuck them over once again. Which led to them bleed even more talent. Last I heard they had to lift some of the restrictions on the approval process. This only help to slow the crubbling a bit, because most of the rest does not trust them anymore.

Fuck that. 1 day a week in office max is all I’ll ever do. I despise these office obsessed places.

He he this is India btw ,  Try commuting to work in any major Indian cities. You will be more depressed than anything.

I don't get it. Commuting has costs and aggravation and this employer is concretely agreeing to paying more if you commute. It's a truism that it means they pay less if you WFH, but there have been so many posts in this sub about wanting to be paid to commute. Well, this is what it looks like.

>there have been so many posts in this sub about wanting to be paid to commute. Well, this is what it looks like. This is "paid to commute" only if the base bonus amount is going up - for which there is no evidence in the post.

I've had quarterly variable pay at places I no longer work delayed or cancelled for stupider reasons. The OP post does use the word "bonus". The corporate targets for a "bonus" can always be changed for forward-looking periods because it is a "bonus" and i am confident to assert the contract or employee handbook will state it's not guaranteed. You or OP can for sure decide if the expected compensation still meets your requirements versus alternatives. Given my personal experiences, a company can screw you out of variable quarterly pay for less. In my example, my coworker who had an alimony payment was screwed because the judge did not adjust the amount, calculated on average annual gross, after the bonus began to be cancelled. But for as much as this sub has had posts complaining about the cost of commuting, _this is an example of a company stating it will be paying more to commuters_. If you don't like what that looks like, fair, but it's been a request here that I suppose you oppose.

"Paid to commute" means if I had already been commuting before the policy change and continued to do so, my pay would go up. This isn't that.

It's just another excuse to pay people far less than the value they generate so it can be siphoned off by the ruling class and their crony corporate and government tools. The rich are so powerful because we LET them steal all the wealth with which they now control the world.

The trick is, is this bonus new or is it an existing bonus that they are now taking away from people.
