Some of you who like working in an office, but have a 90-minute commute to get there, would have a shorter and easier commute if the people who don't like working in that same office didn't have to.
Support remote work, even if you want to be on-site.

@DemocracySpot thanks! That was Oct 20, 3 days later, winter arrived!
In your honour I went back to that folder and edited 4 more shots-- 3 from that same day and 1 from the 22, the Day Before Winter! #commute#landscape#Alberta#October#Autumn
Went a bit mad with the panorama function on my iPhone this morning. I love sunrises and sunsets this time of year becuase they coincide with my commute to work.... #commute#sunrise#otagopeninsula#newzealand
What a great illustration of the perversion of #capitalism: someone who owns two restaurants in downtown Minneapolis is asking Target to force thousands of employees to spend literal pieces of their lifespan every day (and polluting and adding to traffic and wearing down/depreciating their cars in the process) to #commute#returnToOffice#RTO so that their restaurant business model continues to be profitable.
The #remoteWork#flexibleWork revolution is likely unstoppable: thanks to three years of lockdowns, workers now know that rote commuting is a waste of time. Flexible and remote work allows more work-life balance and costs everyone less to produce the same output.
The forces against remote work are almost entirely #reactionary: a desire to return to the Old Ways, to Manage By Walking Around, to go back to the Old Business Models, to save Commercial Real Estate; in other words, to save old capital.
(Article title is clickbait, so I wont’t repeat it)
"Two railway workers in California were fired by Caltrain after the company realized they had quietly converted unused offices into secret apartments to avoid the area's brutal commutes."
Thing that gets me is that they were working for a local mass transit company. One that carries commuters. And they still thought it brutal.
And the travel fun starts again. First report is that the 05.17 is running 20 minutes late. We'll probably have the platform change in 15 minutes, and the cancelation in 25.
If, in years to come, anyone asks me for memories of my work time, of things that stood out or were unusual, I suspect the first thing which will come to mind is those rare days when the 05.17 was on time.
Today i did the 18th #Bike2Work ride.
It was 19°C and cloudy, no wind at all. Very wet since it stopped raining an hour before the ride. I was very lucky for once 😁 I did track C-K (22.5km, 280m ascend).
After these 10 days of stop (well i trained anyway, but not commuted) i felt in great condition. Plus, every time it's wet or raining it's like i have a boost or something...so i destroyed the last year PR by 5 minutes! 😲
I'll never tire of the #Baltic Sea on my ride to work. Every season is so different. Even at -18C I must pause to admire the views. #Cycling#Commute#Winter
Last year I travelled over 14000 km by rail (not including a couple of long journeys in Sweden or my light rail use). It’s about a third of the CO2 compared to using a car apparently. Sadly I have colleagues who have ditched rail travel for car due to woeful reliability of rail in the North of England. #commute#MultiModalTransport
#ArtAdventCalendar Day 17 that was Sunday, so, a work day and so the pic is from the moving car on the #commute#BorealForest#Alberta#WinterPictures#landscape#CountryLiving I was talking a little to @richardgrant a while back when an earlier photo in this thread showed some Tamarack / Larix laricina ( I had a question mark on the id then, just because with snow/frost/ice covering the trees, it was hard to see what trees were there). This view shows Tamaracks again--continued:
