[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I have a job that could be at least 80% telework, yet my manager typically will only let us telework one day a week. Will be changing positions if we ever go back to less than 2-3 telework a week. Have gained so much commuting time back.

It confirms our decision to buy an older house with a bit of land in the burbs with a bad school district. It's what we could afford, incredibly peaceful right now, and we have been working on our vegetable garden with those 2 hours we get back everyday. [/quote]

I feel the same way about work. I'm interviewing for a job in a smaller city where i could afford a home with only a 20 minute commute (or less, but then we'd be increasing my spouse's commute by the same amount mine would decrease). If i don't get it, I seriously think i will talk to my boss about long term teleworking 3 days a week and buy a house with a yard somewhere i actually want to live instead of being stuck in an apartment to minimize commute. If we can make it work full time for months, and have to minimize in person meetings for a long time after we return, I think we are due for a cultural change around telework. [/quote]
