Company ended remote work and switched to 3 days in office: should I just stick it out?

If it’s a 3-hour round trip, that’s not even just 3 days a week—it’s effectively 8 hours a day plus 3 hours... You’re better off just preparing to change jobs.

Agreed—a 3-hour commute really grinds away at your quality of life.

Well, the market isn't good right now, and people who jump ship too hastily often end up somewhere worse. For now, I'd suggest first asking about remote-work arrangements or compressing your office days, and then deciding.

I also did a 3-hour round-trip commute for 6 months, and your body breaks down first. I couldn't do anything in the evening and just collapsed into bed. If they're not paying you more, you won't last long. Prepare yourself, seriously.

Some people say three days a week isn’t so bad, but that’s for people with a 30-minute commute. When it’s three hours, it’s a completely different problem. It could also be the company’s way of signaling you to leave on your own.

Let's first check if there's any room to negotiate. Whether they can group your office days together consecutively, or at least offer a commuting allowance. If that doesn't work either, then you've got your answer lol.
