I actually enjoy working with my team in the office. My only issue is the 2-3 hours of commuting each day. If I only had to go in twice a week, that would be

  I agree with you. The 2 - 3 hours of commuting is horrendous. This is where the business owners have a duty to speak with the city council and keep forcing much better transportation and services. Commutes should always be less than an hour.

    Even a 30 minute commute is ~240 hours a year of miserably wasted time that we give for free to employers (generously, if we ignore the actual chair-to-chair time). When you consider how the nature of our society highly optimizes for filling time, even one hour a day becomes a sacrifice - because that hour is not coming out of your work time, or your sleep time, or your cooking time, or your chores/responsibilities time - it is coming out of your life, and your family's life. On top of that, no matter how much you improve the major cities, there will always be tons of people not working somewhere with a public transportation line to work.

      I think a short commute is ok. It gives people time to clear their minds and is a liminal space which allows a transition to occur. They can catch up on a short episode or read a book. The fact that our society optimizes filling every single second is a personal issue and also a societal issue but it it definitely not the right way.
