[quote=Anonymous]Your commute is [i]90 minutes each way[/i] in the best of circumstances. Three hours a day. I'm shocked you found that manageable even one day a week. It's simply not sustainable to do that 3 days a week, especially not with young kids, doubly so for one of them having significant special needs. That commute will destroy you. Bare minimum, that's 9 hours lost to commuting every single week. You're looking at being out of the house 12 hours a day three days a week, missing out on home life completely those days.

The choice here is so obvious: either work honors the original, pre-covid agreement of 4 day WFH and 1 day in office, or you quit.

I know the job market is challenging right now (my DH lost is job due to "restructuring" on Jan. 15 and is still out of work), but with your DH's high income you will be fine. And someone who is a high performer with good references should be able to land a fully remote job or a job closer to home within a year. Even if work agrees to the old 4 WFH days, I'd still be looking for a job closer to home. That's still one day a week where you're gone 12 hours a day. They could rescind WFH entirely at any time. Prioritize your well-being, prioritize your family.[/quote]
