Work & Economy

The decompression ritual that ends the workday inside the journey home.

The podcast saved for the train, the long way from the station, the ten minutes parked outside the house with the engine off — a small ceremony that converts an employee back into a person.

Etym. — commute + coda, the closing passage that lets the day's music resolve.
