Before the pandemic I was spending almost 2 hours a day on my commute to office, while being on site for 9 hours with an unpaid one hour lunch break. That’s 20% of my working hours.

I can use this time for entertainment and side projects

There’s not enough money in the world to pay for the time I save.

Besides, I save a lot on gas and food, and gain much more comfort (my house, my coffee, my chair, my screens, my toilets)

To be perfectly clear, if my company wants me back to office they will have to raise me more than 30%.
