Suppose there are two employees: Alice and Bob, who do the same job at the same factory. Alice has a 10 minute (20RT) commute, Bob commutes 35 minutes(70RT).

If you’re the owner of the factory, would you compensate them for their commutes? How would you do it?

    You want me to give up 10 hours of my day to get paid for 8 hours of work? No thanks.

    Sitting in traffic still keeps me from living my life. I’ve got a limited amount of time, so Im not giving it up cheaply.

    Remote work where possible is the best option for both parties. If only employers could believe it.

      This is so simple equation, ai can not believe how many people are agains it.

      One my friend lives near Oslo and works in Oslo. He checks in as soon as he sits in a train and starts checking his emails.

        Sounds like a simple choice. Moving house to be closer to where jobs are is getting more and more expensive.

        So that leaves moving jobs.

        I wonder why so many employers are complaining ’No one wants to work’.
