Who doesn't love blowing an extra 2 hours a day sitting in traffic so they can sit in their cubicle while they teleconference with other employees sitting in their cubicles?
I'll give the commute this much, it's the best podcast time I'll have, working from home with a toddler. But for that commute (on the rare occasions I go to the office), I don't even get to sit in my cube to teleconference with clients. I have to book a conference room, because teleconferencing is "too loud" for other workers around the office.
If you'd like to get back that podcast time, you could always sit in your car while not driving anywhere.
Eh, kiddo is worth it. I've got too many podcasts to listen to anyways.
Bosses: that sounds amazing, I'm in.
That’s the point, to keep you miserable. Too miserable to do anything about it.
