Redditor rages at 3.5 hour commute due to RTO

[Anonymous]

But isn't the collaboration so wonderful and worth it?

Nothing like subjecting your employees to the mental torture of a nightmarish daily commute, just so crappy middle managers can justify their existence in the office.

Where? Companies keep stupidly concentrating into urban areas where cost of living is unaffordable. Then they demand RTO while public transportation infrastructure is non-existent. If employees can't afford housing, where are they going to live near work?

Why are they living so far from their work place? Seems self inflected.

Why is the employer requiring RTO for a job that could done remotely? Seems inflicted by the employer.

Why do they live in such a shitty, expensive place? The US is a big place.

Everyone has a choice. The employer chooses RTO, employees can choose other jobs that fit their needs.

Hard to muster empathy here.

People live in way more densely packed areas than SF and manage to get to work every day in countries where they don't do WFH. Honestly the solution here is clean, well-policed mass transit. And I say this as a Republican.

Are you ignorant to the fact that there are industries that don't have a presence in those areas...?

Redditor gambled and lost. Time to decide betw the job and the commute. The employer can set any reasonable conditions they wish and RTO is reasonable.

No sympathy.

Exactly. If people don’t want t be in the office, they need to find remote jobs. No one wants to hear the whining.

I'd quit before travelling 3.5hrs. JFC. No way.

Then why did you open the thread. The subject is unambiguous. Clearly you do want to hear the whining.
