I can’t read this article because it’s paywalled, but the headline said 9% longer.
That’s such a massive underestimate it’s ridiculous.
My total commute minutes went from 150 per week to 350. When full RTO started.
That’s a 133% increase in commute time.
Companies should really be forced to pay for the commuting time, if the demand RTO.
I’ve been fully WFH since 2018 and if someone wants me in an office they’ll need to pay me for my commute and for a cleaning service who cleans during the day and for a cook who can have dinner ready when I get home and for a nanny to handle running the kids to appointments.
And I’ll still be looking for a WFH job the whole time I’m there.
Right there with you, as a tech consultant, I only take assignments that are WFH.
That’s a win from the city’s perspective, and the corporations too. They profit immensely from commuting and being on-site.
I’ve seen a crazy amount of cars on the roads lately. That RTO mandate is really screwing things up.
Take public transit if you can, people!
Yeah, blame the people commuting
Once the Link 2 downtown bridge opens, it should be a lot easier for those at Microsoft to get in and out of the city and decrease personal automobile commuting.
