True enough - that's the fundamental problem with 'teamwork'. The other big issue (at least for some of us) is that @#*(@$$ 5PM to 9 PM meeting called at the last minute by the psycho workaholic boss who wouldn't know a personal life if he kissed her on the behind.
That kind of work life also plays hell on relying on public transit - if the next bus/train to your destination doesn't depart at regular intervals, or if the work issue kept you past the last one, you're SOL.
FWIW, mine PMPG got bumped up by the fact I schlep the kids for a fair percentage of the commute, so the occupancy rate is raised...
