I know this will vary a lot, so hypothetically let’s say you currently WFH/work remotely at least 3 days a week. Your commute to work takes an hour max (door to door) each way. If you were given the choice of a 4 day week working onsite, or a 5 day week WFH (or as many days as you’d like) for the same pay, which would you choose?

    Don’t just count the actual journey time either - you have to factor in any extra time needed to get ready, parking, getting to or from the train and bus station, and any delays or traffic. If google maps tells you your commute takes 30 mins, it’s taking you 45 at least.

      Yes, I described that unprecisely. You basically have to calc the difference between a full remote day and an on site day.

        4 days in the office = 5 days remote considering getting ready + commute + not being able to do life admin in your breaks + cost of fuel and food…

        The 4 day work week should be standard anyway, remote or not.
