A recent survey by Empower, a leading U.S. financial service company, reveals that nearly two-thirds of Americans believe the current economic climate will negatively impact their retirement plans. In a striking finding, 46% of respondents indicated they would be willing to forgo a raise or promotion in exchange for enhanced benefits from their employer.
Interestingly, remote work doesn't top the list of perks people are willing to sacrifice salary for; instead, the focus is on more substantial company-provided benefits. The survey also found that half of the participants would trade pay for the flexibility of working from home, while about one-third would opt for more paid time off (PTO) instead of a higher salary.
