yeah i get that and maybe i wasn't precise enough in my language on the original post but even 3 days a week is a bridge too far for me. knowing that these things are done incrementally usually the writing on the wall for 5 days a week is not that far down the line once everyone gets used to working 3 days and then the mangers says "we missed some quarterly target and they are used to 3 days lets make it 5 and eek out a little more 'productivity'."

If coming into the office 3 days a week is a bridge too far I can only assume you are either rich or so skilled that you'll never be without a job. I'm an older IT guy and when I started unemployment was around 10% so you took whatever job was presented to you, an hour commute each ways wasn't even close to a big deal. I guess we'll see how this all plays out, right now it appears that there are more jobs than workers but that can change quickly and maybe it won't be a bridge too far when you want to keep a roof over your head and feed your family.

that's over an hour minimum in best case, unrealistic scenario... the real drive for these people is going to be at least 2 hours a day... probably more like 2.5 hours in the areas we are talking about.
