If you didn’t get a choice to work remote, how come?

    Working remotely for me means:

    1. no commute (saves money AND time)
    2. having lunch with my wife in a day that’s not a weekend
    3. not having to stress out to leave the office in a hurry to pickup my daughter from school
    4. better work-life balance. Can even nap 20-30 min at lunch time, buy groceries outside rush hours, etc.
    5. more productivity due to fewer distractions. No need of noise cancelling headphones to survive the open space noise in the office.
    6. meetings with colleagues over zoom are more painful, but this keeps them brief, so another plus in the end :)
    7. more time to spend with friends (I don’t have to pretend that colleagues and friends are the same thing anymore).

    My company is now in a hybrid model and I dislike each of the three days I’m forced to be in the office.
