My commute is exactly 30 miles. I live in the city and work outside the city in the burbs. So traffic is always in the opposite direction I'm going.

~40-45 mins in the morning, 50-1.5 hrs depending on accidents going home

This exactly. My employer says we have to come in because our clients (mostly nuclear plants) can come to the office at any hour of any day. I've only been here for 3 months, but talking with people that have been here for at least 5 years say they've seen maybe 1-2 clients in the office over their tenure. They also give notice when coming in. all of our work is basically done remotely and the sites usually don't work Fridays, so I don't really see the big deal in working from home for 1 day out of the week.
