Since March 2020 I work at home. No more 1h morning 1h afternoon of traffic jam. I'm a programmer, it changes basically nothing in my life. I'll never go to an office downtown and lose 2h+ a day, never.
Also I can have flexible hour now so I'm doing 7AM-3PM, it's wonderful, it changed my life. Instead of being home at 6+PM I'm free at 3 to go in the pool or groceries or whatever.
I'm saving hundreds of dollars in gas and lunch too.
Same -- I changed jobs since lockdown started, I work for a company now that was 100% remote before all this started. I've actually moved halfway across the country and... yeah, other than now I pay state income tax, nothing has changed for me. I have an office, that's technically a change, I guess.
