Also working at home is becoming more of an option.

In Commonsense Land, it would be.

Unfortunately, we live in Clown World, where the exact opposite is taking place: forcing remote workers back into the mind-numbing hellish existence of:

a. commute among other lemmings in heavy traffic inside shiny box to office-politics cell

b. perform work behaviors within office-politics cell until finally released

c. commute home among other lemmings from office-politics cell in heavy traffic inside shiny box

The majority of workers lead lives of quiet desperation because they have to arise at an hour they don't want to arise at, leave a home they don't want to leave, and get in traffic they don't want to be in, to get to an office they don't want to go to, at an hour they don't want to be there, and do work they don't want to do, with people they can't stand, for a boss or company that doesn't appreciate or respect them, for money they find inadequate...and they get to do that five days a week for three to four decades. This they call "living life."
