After 45 mins to an hour I'd be home and inundated with dinner choices and new math questions. That's a soon to be occurring reality, but for now I am working full out to my end time, have something heating in the oven, and may just be able to assist vs. further confuse my kids in new math. Oh, and post here.
I'm full on supportive of face-to-face, in-office work. When faced with not being able to I picked up the WFH best practices and ran with them. There's good in both environments.
I'm at the office to work, not hang out in impressive skyscrapers. My time at home has taught me that there's a ton of B.S. and wasted time at the office that masquerades as work. All of that plus 2hr commutes mean less value for our shareholders. I could care less what upper management thinks as I'm starting to question the value of what is actually achieved in their full-day, never-ending strategy alignment sessions.
Don't preach work-life balance and then add two hours a day of wasted time back to my day.
