This is spot on, Thank you for articulating it. "But I am finding remote work a far superior alternative to my decade of daily two-hour commutes. Remote work returns some sense of control over my day, gives me time to care for my health and my family, and allows me to deep-dive on longer projects."
Everyday that I drive into the office and walk from the lot (1 hr each way) I realize I'm choosing that over my fitness, family, and fulfillment. My unquestioning acceptance of that choice is waning.
"... now it's a fax" :) (from the United commercial, if you didn't know).
I love this issue because I happen to work with you. Lucky me!
Lucky me, also!

Thanks Anthony, and I hear you. That commute can be soul-sucking at times.
It's also not as easy as "Just get another job," as Twitter would likely say.
