When you take a step back, while $30,000 seems like a lot of money, it's not large enough to get the ... [+] majority of respondents out of their homes.

Blind, an app that provides a platform for anonymous career-related posts, conducted a survey of employees at top-tier companies, including Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan. The survey asked workers if they’d prefer to permanently work from home rather than get a $30,000-a-year raise.

The survey of 3,000 employees at these well-respected companies overwhelmingly—64%—responded that they wanted to continue staying at home, thank you very much. Only two companies out of the 45 sampled, JPMorgan and Qualcomm, had a higher percentage of their staff go for the $30,000 option.

According to the study’s findings, “About 64% of Amazon workers who answered the question preferred permanent work from home, as well as 62% of Microsoft employees and 67% of Google employees. Apple employees would rather take permanent work from home over $30,000 more at 69%, and Salesforce employees at 76%.”
