I don't know why I have to commute 90 minutes just to open AWS consoles, terminal tabs, Microsoft teams and Outlook. Then any communication I have with my team members and leaders must be written before I can do anything anyways.

Do I just have to sacrifice 5% of my lifetime to corporate gods? Because I gladly sacrifice more, and there is an opportunity to negotiate for better mutual terms.

Let me counter by saying in-office work should be just for poor performers who need to be watched, or socialites who like to pretend to work but maintain their role by being popular with the right people.

I can be reductive as well!

> For everyone else that has a bad commute and wants to be home, they should consider retiring or get one of the jobs above.

Congrats, this is the most narrow minded and insane opinion I read on the internet this week.

I'm the latter of the three, so I guess I'll keep working 100% remote.
