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.
