Company Introduces 'Work From Home' Tax, Employees Now Pay Extra For Not Commuting
Corporate giant MegaCorp Industries has introduced the 'Office Avoidance Fee,' a daily tax charged to employees who work from home instead of commuting to the office. The fee, costing $47 per day, is described as 'a fair contribution to the economic ecosystem of not using our parking spaces.' Employees who work from home full-time are now paying approximately $11,750 per year in avoided commute taxes, while those who go to the office pay nothing. A spokesperson said, 'We believe everyone should contribute equally to the economy, whether they drive or not. Also, we miss seeing you in your business casual.' Employees have started a petition titled 'We Refuse To Pay For The Privilege Of Not Going Somewhere,' which has been signed by 47,000 workers who also don't want to go to the office.
