You can deny reality all you want but I have a few member berries to share.
I started at Nationwide just over 3 years ago. At that time, my commute from the New Albany exit of 161 to 670 east Neil exit took me 20-30 minutes. Depending on my departure time between 7-7:30am it now takes me an hour to make that commute, consistently, unless there is a holiday for government employees. Accidents and especially snow can make my drive 2, in the worst case 2.5 hours.
I have actually changed my arrival time with my supervisors since, because leaving at 7:30 or 8:30 seems to net me the same arrival results. There's no motivation for me any longer to try and be an 8am employee.
