Friction over the return to work is settling on a hated aspect of office life: getting there

When Michele Finney thinks about her life before the pandemic, she doesn’t know how she got everything done. The Oshawa mother has a lot on her plate. In addition to her administrative job at a Big Five bank, she has a three-year old son and two dogs that keep her busy.

For the past two years, juggling everything has been a little easier because she’s been working from home. She can use her lunch break to pick up groceries or put a load of laundry in the machine. Getting dinner ready on time isn’t a problem, and she has time after work to be with her son. “The quality of life is so much better,” she said.

That’s about to change.
