    it wouldn’t cover the opportunity cost of 3-4 hours a day for me, and while commuting direct costs are about 4% of my wage, that means a 4% incentive to lose 15-20 hours a week. absolutely not enough for me and to be honest I would consider it a disrespectful insult if my employer tried to justify that

          Damn, that sucks. I guess there’s no option to live closer within budget or a competent train service?

            not really. cost of housing is huge here. plus i like where i live and the kids all have schools established etc. its only a day or 2 a week i need to commute so its managable at least, but pre covid it was getting unbearable
