No lights and no traffic, 8 minutes.

Daily average if I show up on time: 25 minutes

Daily average if I show up like 20 mins early: 12 minutes.

The worst part is that I can do 99.9% of my job from home. And if I were needed in a pinch, I could be in in about 15 minutes. But no, HR doesn't think it's fair because other people's jobs require them to be on site.

Well fuck them, we have different jobs. We don't need to have the same work life. ๐Ÿ˜ก

I'm sorry to hear that, it really does sound awful having to spend time in traffic just to keep up the appearance of "fairness". I doubt your coworkers would really mind if you asked them personally. And you only add to the traffic and pollution problem with these kinds of practices.
Maybe you could suggest an option of working the first- and last few hours from home and spend 4-6 hours in the office? At least you'd be able to avoid rush hour?
