If Bernie thinks I'm 25% more productive, that will eventually be reflected in wages.
Wages have been disconnected from productivity for over 4 decades. Like, that's Bernie's whole point; employers see all the benefits of improved productivity, and workers do not get any more money or leisure time.
That said, there's nothing stopping my employer offering me either deal today. What makes Bernie think he knows better than my employer and me what work arrangement makes more sense for us?
Your employer does not want to offer you that deal because your employer wants as much of your labour as they can get for as little money as they can get away with paying. They aren't incentivized to pay you one cent more than it takes to stop you from quitting.
