Work in Montréal, live in suburbia, 20 years ago it was a 30 minutes commute, before covid it was 60-80 minutes, worst if snow storm, traffic jam is worst year after year. As a programmer, working from home is perfect, there is no change for me working in the office or at home, especially when I work for companies in BC, USA, Spain, name it.
Commuting does not make sense for some jobs where you are in front of your screen on the phone or Teams 8h a day.
I know someone who during covid found a remote job, and the company now has a 2 days in office mandatory, it takes the guy 2h the morning and 2h the evening to go there, it is insane…
