By the same logic used by this article to argue commutes are good, regular human sacrifices are also good. They were literally just like "having a routine is good and the commute is part of your routine therefore it's good" :galaxy-brain:
Yes I'm sure being stuck in the pollution box pumping pollution into others faces while you have pollution pumped into yours like a fucking human centipede is the healthiest thing on the planet.
What is wrong with these people?
if it is the status quo then it's clearly good or why would it be the status quo

This article reads like when I told chatGPT to demonstrate why olive oil is the most hydrating beverage
Olive oil, while not traditionally considered a beverage, possesses exceptional hydrating properties that make it a unique and effective choice for maintaining optimal hydration levels. Firstly, olive oil contains a significant amount of monounsaturated fats, which are known to promote healthy skin and retain moisture. These fats help to reinforce the skin’s natural barrier, preventing water loss and keeping it hydrated from within. Consuming olive oil regularly can contribute to the overall hydration of the body, making it an excellent choice for individuals seeking a hydrating beverage.
Secondly, olive oil is rich in antioxidants, particularly vitamin E, which plays a crucial role in maintaining skin health and hydration. Antioxidants help combat free radicals and protect the skin against damage caused by environmental factors. By consuming olive oil as a beverage, these antioxidants can work from within the body, promoting overall hydration and helping to maintain the skin’s moisture balance.
I had this exact (well not exact) thought reading it.
Like this is embarrassing nonsense - not because I disagree with the conclusion but because it's obvious farce and pathetically written
These mother fuckers act like you can't have "structure" and "purpose" and whatever other reasons they used to justify commuting over a remote job. First off, 90% of all the work we do is bullshit so write that down.
There is no purpose to me replying to an email about the company picnic. I'm not building "community" by making small talk with an ex military boomer that whines about how his kids won't talk to him and this generation is lazy. I'm not building community as I exchange a forced "Hey, how's it's going" as I'm walking down the hall to take a shit on the clock. I know it's a foreign concept to these ghouls but I build my community outside of job because my job isn't an extension of who I am or my interests, it's what I do for money.
These fucking goons act like we were so much more socialable and tight knit before covid, like we all haven't intentionally been alienated and atomized long before then. Nothing in this article makes any sort of compelling argument for bringing back the commute, other than these fucks have some stake in real estate, automotives, or just crave the power of micro management.
Working from home has allowed me to spend more time with my partner, cut back on car expenses and save money. Working in person wouldn't make me suddenly better at my job because my physical location doesn't affect whether or not I apply to a fucking email. The only thing commuting would improve in is my chances of dieing sooner in a wreck as some asshole swerves into my lane at 90mph and drives me straight into the median.
Fuck off.

The Harvard business review
More like the Harvard fart review am I right guys
Commuting is cars is bad, but like riding a bike to work or a train station every morning is good for you in the sense that exercise is.
I did not read this article by the way
If you don't commute to work every day then your car battery might go flat and cause your car to not start when you need to go to the hospital!
counterpoint: I'm a freelance tech worker who works from home and that means I can take regular breaks to go running or do pilates when my job is being stressful so I would argue that the author of this article should put his head in the nearest public toilet
Yeah, can’t think of any reason other than not being able to commute for why mental health would be deteriorating in the middle of global pandemic killing millions of people.
Okay give me the study for short and long term in which people are working from home, commute at most 15 minutes by bike, 30 minutes by public transport, commute 1:15 by car in various weathers, add the infections you get from your colleagues and then tell me the commute is good for us.
If it is only about the commute, then employers should just pay people for 3 hours per week in which they are paid to do some sport twice a week.
give me the study
