Never, never, never, will I spend 1h the morning and 1h the evening in traffic jam to do 15 miles, never again.
EDIT: in winter snow storm it was 2-3h !!!
Amen.
I was one day a week in the office during the pandemic. We had assets which required a physical presence, but with a rotating shift of 1-2 people in the office each day, we could keep the required coverage. Then my workplace started bringing us back to the office in 2022. It started with 3 days a week and we started hearing rumors of a full return to office. It was well know that upper management was hostile to remote work. So, I flipped my LinkedIn profile to "looking" (or whatever the setting was called, it's been a while). And I started both actively applying and responding to recruiters. I eventually got a message from a reciter who led with "REMOTE WORK OPPORTUNITY", yes the message started in ALL CAPS, though the rest was normal and hit all the points I was interested in. I figured, what the hell, can't hurt to talk. That was just shy of two years ago, I have been into an office since late 2022. It's going to have to be a hell of a bad situation for me to deal with commuting again.
Same for me. Last day i worked in an office was March 2020. Haven't done a single day since and don't intend to ever again
Same, March 2020, in 2020-2022 I never went to office not even one day. 2023 got another contract for a year, went there 3 or 4 times in the year to take/bring back some hardware I needed for development. 2024 new remote job 500kms away, go there 2 days every 10 weeks, stay at hotel, they pay.
I'm curious, do you have to go to the office any days?
2 or 4 days every 10 weeks, it's 500kms away (300 miles) I stay at hotel
