Working from home changed how many people think about their jobs, and everyone has a favorite perk. This One Gotta Go card puts four of them together: no commute ever again, working in comfortable clothes, eating your own food all day and napping on your lunch break.
Three perks stay, and one is gone forever. Think about what makes remote work great for you, what you would miss most if you went back to an office and what you barely use. Then make your pick and share the funniest thing that ever happened during a video call.
The 4 choices on this card
A. No commute ever again
No commute ever again means more sleep, less money on gas and no traffic stress. It is the biggest perk for many. Some people miss the commute as a buffer between work and home, which makes it a surprising cut for them.
Keep it if: You used to spend hours in traffic and would never give that time back for anything.
B. Working in comfortable clothes
Working in comfortable clothes means sweatpants all day with a nice shirt for video calls. It is cozy. Some people feel more focused when dressed for work, which makes comfy clothes a candidate to cut.
Keep it if: You have not worn real shoes on a workday in years and you are not planning to start.
C. Eating your own food all day
Eating your own food all day means healthier lunches, snacks whenever you want and saving money. It is practical. It can also lead to constant snacking, which makes it a fair cut for some remote workers.
Keep it if: You love cooking a real lunch, saving money and having your favorite snacks close by.
D. Napping on lunch break
Napping on your lunch break is a dream perk for tired workers. It is restful. Many people never actually do it, though, which makes it the easiest perk on this card to give up. Some feel groggy afterward.
Keep it if: A quick nap at lunch is your secret to staying productive all afternoon.
Our take
We would cut napping on lunch break. It is a nice idea, but no commute, comfy clothes and your own food change the whole workday, while naps are an occasional bonus. The most fun debate usually comes down to no commute against comfy clothes, since both are what people miss first when they return to an office. Ask everyone what would make them happily go back to the office, if anything. The answers usually show who loves their home office and who misses the coffee chats.

Work From Home vs Office: quick answers
What are the benefits of working from home?
Common benefits include no commute, more flexible schedules, saving money on gas and lunches, and fewer office distractions. Many people also enjoy more time with family. Some challenges include loneliness and separating work time from home time. Clear routines and a dedicated workspace help many remote workers stay on track.
Is hybrid work better than full remote?
Hybrid work mixes days in the office with days at home. Some people like it because it keeps in person connection while still offering flexibility. Others prefer full remote work to avoid any commute. The best fit depends on the job and the person. Many companies have settled on a few set office days each week.
