Comment on Bosses and workers still can’t agree on whether the commute is part of the work day, and it’s creating a $578 billion productivity problem

I would move as far as possible from the job site. 2 hours one way on a train watching Netflix, 4 hours work, 2 hours relax on the train. That would be nice.

…and you just wouldn’t get hired, because the guy who lives next to their office is a more attractive option, even if he’s only 80% as productive as you.

And that’s arguably why it makes some sense; companies would be more likely to hire more locally and be more flexible about remote work - both of which save precious planetary resources ánd people’s time.

okay but when do chores happen? i can barely keep up on dishes and laundry with a 45 minute commute each way. sleep, too…

  Currently you work 8 hours + 1.5 hours commute. With this you’d work 6.5 hours + 1.5 hour commute, so you’d have 1.5 extra hour for chores or whatever.

    i didn’t realize the commute was implicitly a part of the 8 hours in your scenario. that makes a little more sense.

You’re highlighting that it’s not a great solution, but at least a 2x hourly rate a day flat payment per office call would be an acknowledgement of my time.
