Quarantine will normalize WFH and recession will denormalize full-time jobs

Everyone being in small coop they live < 30 minutes away from that voluntarily joins and leaves larger organizations (and not in some bullshit primordial john locke way) should be the goal almost everyone can get behind.

WFH is right that autonomy is good (being away from a boss) and commutes are bad, but denying the social nature of our species when work (for better or worse) consumes so much time is ludicrous.

I absolutely agree on the 30 minutes commute.

I used to have that, my office changed location to 1h commute and the 2 days of wfh still mean more commute time than no wfh previously.

I've had 50minutes commute before, but it was just one uninterrupted subway ride which meant I could follow some online courses, but 1h of commute that involves 2x 10 minutes walks and 2 subway changes, its just hell.

I feel that the bank just had to let people with 2 wfh days, lest people quit en mass.
