Commuting options are going to add time but might cut stress. If you're ok with that tradeoff, there are a number of bus options (PVTA, Peter Pan, Greyhound) out of Worcester Union Station which you can get to from Framingham via commuter rail. Unfortunately times don't sync up well most of the time.

If you're ok with driving, but would prefer a less stressful commute, the other two options are

- Find a car pool. This can be tricky, but there are a lot more east/west commuters (and west/east) than you would think.

- See if you can shift your hours. I have a longer commute, but I can make the trip in ~90 minutes since I've got shifted hours and am not dealing with traffic most of the time.
