I would usually be able to make it to work by 9:00am. That's coz of when I could drop the kids off at school and then catch the train. Since covid they don't have morning supervision any longer. Thanks to covid the office is closed anyway but if it was open and they'd require even 9am never mind earlier, then my next words are "Bye bye".

That said even once Covid restrictions are over forget me coming to the office every day of the week. I enjoy my life way too much to let that be taken away again. Yes I moved out here by choice and chose to take the longer commute over city life, I do realize that. But I really don't get what the problem would be with just meeting at the office like once a week or whenever 'needed' with your team instead of being forced to go and partake in all the social banter that kills concentration.
