      Lol I have no reason to be in the office for my job. My company started forcing people back in January. I take the train in. It takes me 2.5 one way, 5 hours total. Doesn’t make any fucking sense that I have to make the journey, and it makes no fucking sense that the train ride takes an hour and 45 minutes

        Are you me? I am supposed to go in once a week and the drive to the train station and taking the train is like 2.5 hours each way. I love going into the office and just sitting there not talking to anyone.

        Worked from home all through the pandemic, I even have various pieces of tech at my house for testing purposes. I literally don’t need to be in the office at all and I get more done at home since I don’t have to wake up at fucking 5:30am for the trip.

        Edit: I didn’t even mention that time I got off the train, sharted, then took the next train back home lmao

          Not to mention it’s just exhausting spending 5 hours of your day in commute

          That’s about 15 hours a week I could use to work and to go out with my dog, work out, actually do work more efficiently with two screens, and just idk spend some time with friends

            Do you only work 3 days a week or are you subtracting your hour long fault commutes?

            OP spend over one full day a week commuting. Gag worthy

      If there only were trains, or trams, or busses. In many areas, public transport consists of “the morning bus” and “the afternoon bus”.

      And not everyone can WFH. Actually, most people with lower pay grades can’t, so they still have to be present whereever they work.
