My work is very excited about the new office location that they're moving into. I'm uh... less than enthused about it. Fifteen months of not having to drive into the snarl of traffic everyday has been nice. I don't really get anything out of being there rather than in my better office space at home.

Might ask for 20, 25 grand more if I have to go back to the office.

Here's a source you can use for hard numbers[1].

Commutes are responsible for a 9.91% drop in wages. They're also responsible for an average of nearly 10 entire days of driving a year, or 30 full 8-hr work days of driving each year.

That's completely reasonable since you're not being paid for the time you spend on the bus or in a car each day.
