    It’s really understandable, and even just a 1-hour commute changes an average day from 8 hours to ten hours, which is a huge quality of life difference.

    As a manager, it’s a little frustrating because I have great job applicants that are only interested in 100% remote but much of my work requires people to be hands on with hardware, and my company has a hybrid policy, so everyone has to be in plant some days.

    My team is all software developers, and I have no doubt about them being as productive or more from home as at work (though in-person collaboration is more effective than remote). I don’t have any personal issue with it and am as liberal as policy allows about approving remote work, but some things we do just have to be hands-on.

    Thankfully, my personal commute is about 15 minutes, so isn’t a big impact in my day
