Comment on I don't think they understand. We're interviewing them too.

  Everyone does that. You aren’t paid for gas, bus passes, the food you use to bike. Every single person pays to go to work.

    Nope, here thanks to socialists half of bus pass is covered by employers (mandatory), some people have a car benefit fully paid even gas (but they pay contributions on that benefit), and companies can give tax free money for bikers and carpoolers, thanks to environmentalists.

    My 100% Homeoffice employee contract says different. The moment I step outside my apartment to go to a rare meeting in the office or to a client’s site, I am clocking hours. Any reasonable (so no limo or heli shuttle) travel expense (gas+deterioration as well as parking if I were to use my own vehicle, tickets for public transport otherwise), I note down and hand in to the company at the end of the month so I get reimbursed fully.

    If you have to travel to do your work, it makes sense for the company to have to pay for it. On the flip side, companies might prefer hiring people living in more convenient, closer locations to their business than rural farmsteads. Which on the other hand makes sense as well, reducing time and energy waste, imo.

      And so your work pays for heating? Cooling? Internet? Power use for your laptop? Very impressive contract if so.

        My employer pays for my phone, phone bill and internet bill. It’s standard at least in IT where I live.
