When I did shift work 15 mins to get to work or back via car. When I went back to same place at office hours 25-60 mins.
vs 0 mins homeworking and there was no loss of service or productivity for my job all done from home during covid. Govt want all workers back in the office, what a stupid idea along with 20 blanket ban, add in co2 emissions its all a random mess of incoherent policies.
let those who can be proven to WFH with no loss of performance or service do so. Freeing up the roads for those that have to get into work. reductions in co2 as well, why isn't this a win,win,win situation?
I have made it quite clear I'm only prepared to do one day a week in the office out of my 3 a week max if there's a valid reason for doing so. Unnecessary commuting is a waste of resources. Public transport is only usually an option if you and your job are located in a built up area. My last non-govt job I was able to cycle in the whole way on a cycle path with secure bike racks and good showers, sometimes I'd take the train and sometimes the car. 1 or 2 a week commutes there and back were by car. Current job 90 mins public transport up to 60 by car 40 by bike but too dangerous having to cycle a safer route would be about 90 mins and **** showers.
That's the reality of the end of my career transport options.
I do feel for delivery drivers if roads become less congested in a strange way I'd imagine their bosses would cram in even more drops.
