Many workers say they would take a pay cut if they were allowed to work from home. Celebrity video platform Cameo is willing to give its employees a raise—and other perks—to lure them back to the office.
This year, high-profile companies like Amazon and JPMorgan have embraced strict policies to get their employees back into the office full time, eliminating the option of hybrid work altogether. With limited exceptions, workers who choose not to comply with these new mandates are unlikely to keep their jobs—let alone get a raise.
One company, however, is willing to shell out thousands of dollars to lure workers back to the office. According to a CNBC report, the celebrity video platform Cameo has promised each of its employees an additional $10,000 annually in exchange for coming into the company’s Chicago-based office four days a week.
“We really felt like we wanted to make HQ a perk, not a punishment,” Cameo CEO Steven Galanis told CNBC. “We know we’re asking more out of you to give up the flexibility, and we wanted to compensate you for it.”
In addition to the $10,000 raise, employees who returned to the office this week will receive perks like free lunch and parking, as well as access to a gym. While the policy currently applies only to Chicago-based employees, the company has said it will help cover relocation expenses and extend these benefits to people based elsewhere if they are interested in moving.
