[–] ohlaph@lemmy.world 104 points 3 years ago (3 children) And time. Instead of commuting, I'll mow my grass, water the plants, do some chores, etc. My wife commutes and can't work remotely. I try to consider that and do more chores to bring balance. That extra 20-30 minutes in the morning and 40 minutes in the PM is priceless, actually. permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] guyrocket@kbin.social 27 points 3 years ago I agree. Time truly is our greatest resource as people and getting some back instead of driving is fantastic. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 17 points 3 years ago (1 child) Took me an hour to get to work, so now I get an extra hour and a half in bed as I get up at 9:30 for my 9am start. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Grumpy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 years ago (2 children) Wait... so you're 30min late for work everyday because you sleep in? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] oroboros@sh.itjust.works 10 points 3 years ago (1 child) That's someone properly refreshed, ready to do some quality work! 3 day week, 4 hour day is doable, but my goodness would it cause wild upward pressure on wage levels.... https://www.investopedia.com/insights/downside-low-unemployment/ Wage inflation is not good apparently... permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] sukhmel@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago So what they are saying is basically large companies have a ridiculous margin and can raise wages (but will not, unless unemployment rate is too low because efficiency) and small companies will go broke or loose all of their workers if bigger ones raise.

I get up for my first meeting, do some light work, then shower and get ready during my working hours, and leave on the bus. I’ll get there around 11-11:30 usually. Then I’ll leave to be home around 5. I’m not wasting my time on this bullshit. Working from home is way more relaxing and efficient. permalink fedilink source parent
