Why are you asking this question and then arguing with people about how terrible the situation was before covid? Do you have a different question you were actually trying to ask? Remote work and hybrid work wasn’t a common thing in the Boston area. Or anywhere. That’s why people talk about “rush hour” and “beating traffic.”

Does it seem like I'm arguing? Im just commenting on how insane it is.

Like " Wow thats crazy :o" kind of way. Not doubting that it was real.

You’re commenting to people how insane it is as if they have any control. Your question was if it is common then you reply like everyone telling you obviously that it was common “omg crazy!!”

sorry. I think over text it comes across as weirder. I think when I'm on reddit I feel like I need to reply to comments on post, just as you would reply to a person speaking to your IRL.

But don’t pretend to ask a question, then when you get a reply, start arguing with employers in the past pre-COVID. You ask what was common, you were told the answer to your question, and you start arguing. Be honest. You weren’t actually asking a question, you wanted to make a statement.

I guess Im surprised at how it was less common than I thought? I was actually asking. It's just hard to wrap my head around it. Sorry if it seems weird. I think without in person tone of voice/body language it's difficult to decipher tone from text.
