Traffic in my area when going to work is completely random; ranges from 45min to 65 minutes
(going home is always hell, at least 70 minutes guaranteed)
I’ll bet there’s a pattern to it. If you found out which companies have hybrid office policies, and which days of the week they go in, I bet it would align nicely with the days that the traffic is worse.
Yeah, the tweet is funny, but while most days when I worked in the office would take me roughly the same amount of time to get to work (~45-60min), sometimes there were accidents and such that could add up to hours.
As someone that lives in a small city where my morning commute is 15 minutes, and 20 on the way home, this is fucking insane to me. 70 minutes is 3/4 of the way to the next town at highway speeds.

That’s why I prefer buses. Even if it takes much longer to go to destination, I can always listen to podcasts or watch something on YouTube.
I was debating it, but it’s close to 2 hours with public transit, with no chances of it being faster.
I’d have to take one bus, one train, one subway, then another bus

Sounds like the 405 near Santa Monica/LAX

Believe me, I know. I was lied to when I took this job.
They said on site is only mandatory for the first two weeks to get up to speed.
Then I can transition into work from home and come in only when needed.
Then I approached them because it was almost 2 months at the time, and they replied with “You need supervision so you have to come in”.
The part that pissed me off is that NO ONE sits next to me or helps me in any way all day.
