Not commuting saves a ton of time and energy, not only in gas but also calories for me.<p>I have found a lot of people don&#x27;t communicate enough when working remotely though.  So you have to remind people to get in Slack&#x2F;Skype&#x2F;Hangouts&#x2F;phone.  Also a video or voice chat is higher bandwidth so it is good to do that at least once a week or more often depending on tight the collaboration is.<p>But considering that most office jobs can actually be done over the internet now, the highway congestion, the logistical&#x2F;military implications of maintaining the massive imbalance of fossil fuel distribution largely to support the commuting in oversize vehicles, global warming, etc., it surprises me that we even allow so much commuting to continue.  Seems unethical.
