Highlighting this issue, a woman recently shared her views on why working from home (WFH) should be more widely adopted in major cities like Bengaluru and Mumbai. And we think you will agree.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">She argued that many employees waste valuable \u201ctime, energy, and money&#8221; commuting to offices, often for roles that don\u2019t truly require their \u201cphysical presence&#8221;. According to her, the exhaustion from long commutes drains people before the workday even begins. She also emphasised that \u201cheavy traffic and poor infrastructure&#8221; only add to the daily stress.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">Taking to X (Formerly Twitter), the woman wrote, \u201cCompanies should allow WFH in cities like Bangalore and Mumbai. If physical presence isn\u2019t needed, there\u2019s no point wasting time, energy, and money battling traffic and poor infrastructure. Half your energy is wasted just reaching the office.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Companies should allow WFH in cities like Bangalore and Mumbai. If physical presence isn\u2019t needed, there\u2019s no point wasting time, energy, and money battling traffic and poor infrastructure. Half your energy is wasted just reaching office.\u2014 Akanksha (@Nyctophilic___) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Nyctophilic___\/status\/1948240570129793096?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">July 24, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">Before You Take A Side, Read What Internet Thinks<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">Reacting to the post, a user wrote, \u201cYes. Physical presence, if required, should be 1 week a month or something. It should not be 1\/2\/3 days a week, and I don\u2019t understand that daily office culture. You are exhausting the person, and sooner or later, they will leave, considering most companies have lenient policies as of today. Money alone isn\u2019t everything today. Peace of mind is equally important.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">Another shared, \u201cThe Problem is productivity, less than 10% people are productive in WFH, the rest all need to be in the office.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\">\u201cI think working from the office reduces the productivity of employees,&#8221; a comment read.<\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\">An individual stated, \u201cDon\u2019t know why, but it looks like there\u2019s an unofficial policy for mandatory WFO. Remote jobs have dried up, and companies are not encouraging WFH like earlier.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\">Another mentioned, \u201cThese buddhe uncles who have no life sitting at the top don\u2019t understand the word flexibility or work life balance.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"9\" class=\"story_para_9\">One more added, \u201cWFO is not just about physical presence and not just for the company, but for employees as well. For that, I think you should remember how you felt when you had to WFH during the lockdown period.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"10\" class=\"story_para_10\">Earlier, another person on X shared a similar opinion about working from home, especially in a city like Bengaluru. He joked that the traffic problem is so bad, it should be treated like a pandemic. According to the individual, sitting in traffic for two hours and then trying to look fresh and active at work felt too much for him. He also mentioned that the stress caused by Bengaluru traffic has no solution and makes everything harder.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"authorimg\" src=\"data:image\/jpeg;base64,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\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/buzz-staff-17233.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Buzz Staff<\/a><\/p>\n<p>A team of writers at News18.com bring you stories on what\u2019s creating the buzz on the Internet while exploring science, cricket, tech, gender, Bollywood, and culture.<\/p>\n<p>A team of writers at News18.com bring you stories on what\u2019s creating the buzz on the Internet while exploring science, cricket, tech, gender, Bollywood, and culture. <\/p>\n<p>News18&#8217;s viral page features trending stories, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/videos\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">videos<\/a>, and memes, covering quirky incidents, social media <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/buzz\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">buzz<\/a> from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/india\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">india<\/a> and around the world, Also Download the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/eng-article-eop\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">News18 App<\/a>\u00a0to stay updated!view commentsFirst Published:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/viral\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">viral<\/a>   Bengaluru&#8217;s Daily Office Commute Slammed: \u2018These Uncles Sitting On Top Don\u2019t Understand\u2019Disclaimer: Comments reflect users\u2019 views, not News18\u2019s.
