> Do you not have a computer at home?
I have several and I would never install work software or store work materials on it. The privacy and security risk alone is just not worth it — and I work for a company that respects privacy.
I would also never pay any money to maintain a computer to do work for a company.
I value my commute tremendously. It’s one of my favorite parts of the day.

I'm going to have to take my three hours a day that I have working remote, more if you include prep time to even leave the house, and spend that on bumper to bumper traffic baby!

My guess is that you either don’t live in the US or live in one of the small handful of cities that have decent public transportation. Sitting in SoCal traffic for an hour both ways every day will certainly change your mind about commutes.
