My company returned to the office around the 4th of July with a hybrid schedule (in the office 3 days per week and working from home 2 days per week).
I'm a civil engineer and I work on roadway / transportation design. I work in a small office in a building that has other small offices.
My commute is about 60 miles round-trip.
Though I don't really like working in the office, I know it could be a lot worse (having worked in a factory before, doing more labor intensive jobs, making fast food for people, etc.).
I still much prefer working from home as it saves time, hassle, energy, planning, preparation, etc.
I've noticed that it has become much more difficult to do intense exercise after work now that I'm driving so much, working in the office all day, etc. It seems like everything is a lot more effortful at the end of the work day with commute. I might try and start working out earlier in the mornings again.
All in all, it's been a big pain in the ass with having to do more meal prepping, planning, etc. I have to pay tolls along my commute too. So I basically have to pay to go to work.
Definitely miss working from home 5 days per week.

The commute to work should definitely be compensated.
I don't work for anyone but used to be an officecel . I remember how much of a pita it was just to prep to go to work. You spend an hour and a half prepping meals, clothes, shave, etc just to take a 30min drive and sit around a bunch of idiots biding their time until retirement.Short, fat, and bald crew.

Still WFH. I went in to the office on Tuesday because I needed to ship something that was at the office and it was a literal ghost town...

Still WFH, possibly end of the year we will return for 1-2 times a week. It would be nice to finally meet my coworkers since I got a new job but hopefully we can spend most of the week at home. Quality of life has definitely improved.

Yeah, it takes so much extra time between packing food, gym gear, clothing, supplements, etc.Originally Posted by donkeydonger
I can totally see how it would be so easy to just go to work and eat fast food and not go to the gym.

Pushed out until April of next year. Yay!
Thus let me live, unseen, unknown;
Thus unlamented let me die;
Steal from the world, and not a stone
Tell where I lie.
