Study in US shows one day a week of remote working cuts emissions by just 2% but two or four days lowers them by up to 29%

And time. Instead of commuting, I'll mow my grass, water the plants, do some chores, etc.
My wife commutes and can't work remotely. I try to consider that and do more chores to bring balance.
That extra 20-30 minutes in the morning and 40 minutes in the PM is priceless, actually.
I agree.
Time truly is our greatest resource as people and getting some back instead of driving is fantastic.
Took me an hour to get to work, so now I get an extra hour and a half in bed as I get up at 9:30 for my 9am start.
Wait... so you're 30min late for work everyday because you sleep in?
That's someone properly refreshed, ready to do some quality work!
3 day week, 4 hour day is doable, but my goodness would it cause wild upward pressure on wage levels....

Wage inflation is not good apparently...
So what they are saying is basically large companies have a ridiculous margin and can raise wages (but will not, unless unemployment rate is too low because efficiency) and small companies will go broke or loose all of their workers if bigger ones raise.
That almost sounds like a systemic problem, ain't it?
If you didn't think this was the case in most offices I have a movie to show you
Well if you think like this, it's no wonder they are ending WFH.
Not everyone can be a happy little robot in a suit. Some of us are normal people.
Yep. I have to go into the office 3 days a week. I get up for my first meeting, do some light work, then shower and get ready during my working hours, and leave on the bus. I’ll get there around 11-11:30 usually. Then I’ll leave to be home around 5. I’m not wasting my time on this bullshit. Working from home is way more relaxing and efficient.
