How many of you are still working full-time remote and how is it going? If not, why not? Was the decision made by you to go back to the office or did your employer decide for you? (kbin.social)

I am still working full-time remote. There are definitely some social aspects of going to the office I miss, but I really don't miss the commute or the shitty office politics. Overall I feel I am still more productive from home and happier overall.

I go in twice a week, because I find being able to talk to people face to face both quite productive and I'm an extravert who likes company. Plus, I'm in London and I actually enjoy the 45 minute cycle.

That's cool. If I tried to ride my bike to work I would probably get run over in the first couple of miles. I'm jealous of cities that have nice bike paths.

Can I ask what country/city you are in?

[–] iLikeGoats@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

In a large metropolitan area in the Mid-Atlantic region of the USA. The city itself has a decent bike program but not the wider area

Got it. I only asked because if you were in the UK I was going to recommend the excellent free ‘Cycle Confident’ programmes some councils run.

I can imagine that inter-city cycling in the US would be zero fun.
