What’s your long commute story? Come list them here.

The reason to push for WFH is so that people who can’t WFH (retail, medical, other blue collared) can go to their work without facing this congestion.

    I had a 10 min bike ride to work, then “accepted” a “promotion” that led to an opening with a 70 mile commute in LA traffic that could be at best 1.5hrs, at worst 3hrs each way. 3 weeks straight work, then one day off for the next 15, then christmas day off, then 6 days @ 12-15hrs.

    Needless to say that lasted 11 months (got slightly better through the summer) & I started consulting & private catering until we left the US for good the following year.

    fuck commuting

      That sounds torturous. If company has to pay for the time we commute, they wouldn’t have made you an offer you can’t refuse.
