[quote=Anonymous]I used to live in a different city. My commute was about 30 mins each way and my first child was in daycare at my office so I never worked from home unless there was something like a storm preventing us from going in and even then I could only work a few hours. I liked having an office to go to.

We moved in 2016 and I started working from home (same company) but was required to go in one day a week. Except there was abbot 18 months between 2016-2020 they relocated us to a smaller space and were renovating it and didn’t want us coming in and there was about 5 months I took leave when my 2nd child was born. So nearly half that time I wasn’t commuting at all.

I continue to work remotely, but have an office about 1.5 hrs away I can go to. I go in when there’a an event such as a VP visiting or a specific training I want to take. I go in about 8 times a year (roughly once a month except in the summer when schedules).

My husband is also fully remote and we don’t have an office - I work from a desk in the living room since the kids are at school and my husband works from our bedroom - so that can take creativity. He got his job in 2020 and it’s always been remote. There’s not really an office (employees are around the world and there’s one small office in one city across the country from us).
