You're forgetting that a lot of people still have to WFH, they just do it now before or after going to the office - so it's even worse than you're stating.
I know some folks that work from the west coast with customers on the east coast, and they regularly are taking meetings at 6am from home, then commuting in, and getting home late.
If we return to the office, we should not also be expected to work long hours when we're at home. It's the worst of both words.

- jerlam 2y agoWest coast seems like the worst time zone to be remote. You have to get up early for meetings with your coworkers, and they can get your immediate feedback on their problems. But when you have your own problems, it's often too late for them to help you.
