We'd been outgrowing our office for some time before the first lockdown, although we only moved in 5 years ago. I think they will be more flexible about letting us work from home, but I don't know how many days per week it'll be.
I really don't need to be in the office, I work pretty much on my own and barely know most of the people in my own department, let alone the rest of the firm.
It's only a 10 minute commute but with actually getting dressed for work I will need to ge getting up a good hour earlier than I am now.

MrsICBM would rather find another job than go back to working in the office more than a few days a month. Luckily this is unlikely since WFH has proved so successful that the company has sold off several of its office buildings in the last year.
Commuting is just such a massive waste of resources in several ways - I can't see things going back fully to how they were, and that's a good thing.

Funnily enough, I almost miss having an excuse to jump on the Triumph a couple of times a day, but at least when I take it out for a ride here I'm only five minutes from the beach or the moors!
Anywhoo let’s not derail the OPs thread there will always be bad car driver vs bad cyclist discussions and rarely will they see eye to eye, I will always do the right thing regardless.
But, back I must go, the pay is good and I need to keep earning at this level for a few more years to meet help us our financial freedom targets and there are zero alternatives that pay like this in my area which amplifies the feelings of being chained with golden handcuffs.
At the end of 2023, I will be in a position where I could take a lower income without compromising our personal goals. Ideally, I would like them to make me redundant at the end of that year as the payout would be significant after 20 years employment, that would be ideal and I really could get out of the rat race.
