I live about 2 miles from my work. The campus is beautiful. The building are gorgeous. The work environment is top notch. Between my house and campus is a nice 15 minute bike ride on paths through forests. It’s quite a nice and easy ride. Or I could drive there in about the same amount of time. I hate it. I completely refuse to go in. I am working from home until they fire me.

Out of curiosity, what makes WFH so compelling in that situation?

  I hate the time it takes to get ready. I hate the time commuting there and back. I hate not being in my own home. I hate having to pack a lunch. I hate not seeing my family as frequently.

    This. No one is talking about the little things. My commute is around half an hour in one direction, and it’s mostly enjoyable (7-8 minutes walking, 22 minutes in metro). What I hate is getting ready. My first meeting is at 10am, and I have to wake up at least at 8 if I’m going to the office (have a bite, take my dog out, shower and stuff). If I’m working from home, I can get up at 9:45. While having colleagues around is sometimes beneficial, everything else is worse. My chair at home is more comfortable, I can keep the light dimmed, I can fart freely, I don’t have to wear shoes all day, etc.
