The upsides to WFH seem pretty clear to me

- No commute saves workers you an hour or two every day and benefits the company by loosening traffic for those that do WFO

- Hours saved by not having to prep in the morning/commute benefits the company by making workers more well rested, late less often

- If you have kids you no longer need to hire someone to watch them and can spend a bit more time with them

- Don't have to interface with people that can give you diseases, benefiting both your health and your company by keeping you from taking sick leave

Some of these are so obvious that they feel self evident which is why I think people are not mentioning them outright (it would be redundant)



We aren’t talking about WFH vs working in the office. We are talking about the argument made that companies should reimburse employees for any time spent commuting.
