hmmm, do I want to sit in a train, flip my laptop open and do some work, then walk through a park to the office for today... Or do I want to sit in traffic and do nothing...

Tough choice there

Work time starts when I open the laptop. I'm not volunteering that time, since i'm not completely insane. It makes a huge difference whether my workday starts in the office, or in the train.

You're right. It's been raining all day today with a forecast of thunderstorms, I absolutely want to sit in a warm, dry box and not walk through the park :p

I’m gonna be real, I’d 100% rather sit in traffic. It’s somewhat relaxing to me.

I hate this trend that we need to be working all the time, even during our commute.

To each their own. I prefer 2 hours of working in the train and 6 in the office to traveling for 2 hours and working 8 hours in the office
