My employer has made 2 days a week in the office mandatory this week. I've already decided that if it creeps up to 3 days, I'll be out of there and looking for a new job, probably remote. It's not that I don't like being in the office, but that my commute is 1h30m in each direction. Doing that twice a day is exhausting and steals precious hours of my day away.
- ghaff 5y agoAt one point, I had a 90+ minute commute maybe half the time. I could often do it by train which made it almost tolerable but almost certainly not over the long term.
- silicon2401 5y agoAt one point I commuted 90 to 120 minutes or more each way. I managed to survive it for about a year and a half or so and it was absolutely the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. I don't know how people can do longer commutes or for a longer period of their life than me. I would recommend anybody to keep a hard cap of 1h each way and only if it's absolutely necessary. Today I'd rather work for 50k and a 30m commute than a 2h commute for 200k
