The return-to-office demands make little sense from an overall economic perspective, while working parents, in particular, benefit from not having to waste time commuting to an office, writes Peter Bergen.
Haven’t been to my new jobs office yet lol. At my last one I went a handful of times and I did enjoy it. But it’s definitely not something I could do even a day a week. Long costly drive. Plus my home office is so stacked now it sucks to leave it.
Yeah this conversation is a bit different if you can bicycle to work and enjoy it. Exercise, fresh air and social interactions are benefits here. The bigger issue is being forced to work on site when you don’t want to. Employers are even starting to offer two rates for jobs. On-site wage and remote wage. It’s the same work!!
The problem is compounded by shitty work standards.
If I’m salary why do I need to work 40 hours a week minimum?
Why do I have to start at 8am?
Why do I have to come into the office?

I’m from India so my commute is just public transports and fair bit of walking.
I’m using it as a cardio exercise lol.
