- max46 5y agothen get a job that requires less hours and/or less transit. Don't try to work at a place that requires a very high dedication with a lot of hours and then use wfh as a way to lie to you boss to spend more time with your kids when you are supposed to work.
- lolgatekeeping 5y agoGod people enjoy their wife/husband and kids.......... THE HORROR. Way to gate keep people's preferences. I don't lie to my coworkers when I say I want to be home by 7 to put my child to bed. You are delusional if you think that is abnormal. Also people can work wherever the frack (had to change to not offend the SF crowd) they please. You are correlating high dedication with high output which absolutely not the case quantitatively speaking. Gatekeep harder please... (lol flagged for a naughty word, sorry it hurt the tendies)

- greycol 5y agoYou can use a 15 minute break to be with family if you WFH. You can't use a 15 minute break to be with your family and complete a >15 minute round trip. If you believe being in the office is required, fine, but if that's your criteria for what a "very high dedication" employee is then you'll need to pay more remuneration(or offer other perks) than a business that requires the same skill set and dedication without requiring the employees to be in the office.
- threeseed 5y agoMost engineers don't have a family. And some don't have close friends. Don't assume that your view of the world is the same for everyone.
- xmprt 5y agoIf you work from home, you can spend all that time you would have spent commuting finding friends instead. Go to bars, find common hobbies/interests, join a rock climbing gym..
