What an utter load of shit.

You know what's good for me? Having an extra fifteen hours a week, where I'm not trapped in bumper-to-bumper traffic, breathing in smog.

Taking a walk around my neighborhood with my wife and dogs in the afternoon, instead of running to McDonalds to cram some calories down my throat so I can go back to work.

Driving to the gym, instead of driving to the office.

Those things are good for me. My commute was killing me. If something hadn't changed, I fully believe that commuting in Boston traffic would have shaved years off my life.

Fuck this "back to the office" nonsense.

Bumper to bumper is horrible. But as described in my response, shifting a timetable could drastically change a commute experience.

A lot of people have a lot of things they can't shift around, like children, and circadian rhythms.

"Return to the office" brought to you by the people who have a bunch of money tied up in the commercial real estate market
