[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess it’s time to get a new job OP.   Find something closer to home for when you do need to go in since you have a lot of complaints about commuting.

I agree a hybrid culture where everyone is not in the same days is pointless.  You should make this suggestion to your management.  Pretty typical for organizations to say we are all in the office Tuesday to Thursday for example.

So sorry, OP. I share your sentiments. I commuted on public transportation for 3+ hours a day (Southern Connecticut to the Financial District in New York City) for four years and it was horrible -- and that was before kids. I went 100% remote pre-pandemic in 2019 after my first child was born and have not looked back. My husband, unfortunately, still does that commute and because he works at a big bank that is all about being in the office he is in the office 4-5 days per week. There are upsides to being in the office but if everyone chooses different days to be remote then it can be pointless. My current company has asked employees within 50 miles of an office on particular revenue generating teams that benefit from getting together to come in for the first week of every month. Employees commute M-F for one week and then the rest of the month they can be fully remote. This makes a lot more sense to me and you may want to suggest it to your management team if you think they would be open to it. [/quote]
