1. Why? I can live 2 hours from my office and still have a total weekly commute that is less than my pre-pandemic commute. If I can somehow fix an overnight in the city it's even less.
2. This is true, although you get 'reimbursed' for that by not commuting. And since you don't commute you can live somewhere cheaper, or get a bigger house for the same price.
3. My company paid for all that, so no issue here.
- slumdev 5y agoTwo hours from your office? Is this hyperbole? If you live two hours from your office and go in for three days per week, that's 2h per leg * 2 legs per day * 3 days per week = 12 hours per week on the road. You were spending more than 12 hours per week in traffic? The average commute in the United States is a little less than 30 minutes [1]. That's 5 hours per week for someone who works five days per week. 1. https://www.census.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2021/one-way-travel-time-to-work-rises.html https://www.census.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2021/one-way-...
- apexalpha 5y agoI used to commute 1 hour one way pre Covid, so 10 hours per week. If I go into the office for only 2 days a week I could live twice as far from my workplace and still only commute 8 hours a week. I was meaning to say that even with 2 days in-Office per week it opens up possibilities regarding housing. I was spending 1,5 hours per day in a train, and walking to the station for 10 minutes or so, yes.
- llampx 5y agoThere are only so many hours in a day. Are you willing to wake up at 5AM to get to the office and be home at 8PM for 2 days a week?
