A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Despite the popular belief that younger generations are champions of remote work, one-third of Gen Z and millennial workers say they’d be willing to work fully in-person if it meant shaving a day off of their workweek.

How does paying to commute four days a week versus five days fully remote make any sense? It's still 80% of the cost and time of commuting.

Note that this is one third. And there are people who live close enough to their workplace that it wouldn't add much burden.
