I don't get it either. This is by far the most productive i've ever been at work and on personal projects. I don't miss spending 60+ minutes in my car 5x a week to sit in a cube with headphones on or sit in a meeting where we all look at a shared screen on our laptops... I start my workday when I wake up and finish working at the same time i'd normally be arriving home after my drive.
- bobthepanda 6y agoNot everyone spends 60+ minutes in a car? My commute is a 20-30 minute bus ride, which is just long enough to mentally separate "home" and "work." Plus since someone else is driving I can do basically anything I want to pass the time, other than reading a book since that gives me motion sickness. I still have the same meetings I had before, just now I get to stare at a tiny 13-inch screen and squint instead of having it projected onto a wall at a reasonable size. In general I would like offices to move to "remote if you want so long as you're meeting your work KPIs", but I would hate fully remote work.
- dougmwne 6y agoIn the USA being able to use public transit is very rare and most commutes in major cities are long. I used to have the good fortune of being able to commute by train for 20-30 minutes and had the option of biking as well. I loved that commute but I fully recognize most people are not so fortunate. I had co-workers in the same office who drove 2 hours each way.
