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.

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

To say “stop whining, find a new job!” Happy? Clearly every other poster agrees with me and this thread is not going how you anticipated. If you don’t like your job, no one is stopping you from getting a new one.

Um no, I'm pretty sure it's just you spamming this thread over and over again.

How is 28 miles "so far" away? Its possible that their employer doesn't pay them enough so that they could afford to live closer.

You don’t understand Bay Area traffic. It is absolutely insane on 880 and 680. People move and moving is hard because every house still gets 10 offers and goes for several hundred thousand over ask. We’re in South Bay which I love because as long as you don’t work in East Bay, the commute to companies in Santa Clara or San Mateo is very doable. You could also work in SF taking Cal Train.

The Bay Area really lacks public transit options. Caltrain and BART are not like the DMV metro or the NY subway and train system. The lines do not go far enough into where people live, they don’t go near large sections of the area. They have far less frequent trains. A thirty minute metro ride with many stops between burbs and work areas would be an hour on Caltrain with fewer stops so not walking distance to your work area.

Wrong. No sympathy poster here. You moved, hoping you could have your cake and eat it too. You lost. Get a new job or solve your commute problem.

And no, I don’t care about SF traffic and your employer doesn't have to care. Figure it out or quit and stop whining about it.

I live 25 minutes from my office. A single stalled car turned that into a 90-minute drive last night all inside the Beltway. We don't have the infrastructure.

You’d be wrong.

If remote work is indeed more productive, it should be super easy to find a new job. Why waste time posting?

They don’t live far from work. The traffic in the San Jose area is horrendous even on weekends and holidays.

thank you Republican!! Honestly we should start a 3rd party dedicated to actually MAGA by improving schools, public transit and housing.

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

Because the slackers ruined it for everyone.

Hey, my commute is 5 miles away from my job in the DC area and it often still takes me 45 minutes to get home each day. I'm not whining about my commute in SF traffic, but I can certainly sympathize with what people are dealing with here. You on the other hand are just being awful for the sake of being awful. That's just sad for you.

I’m awful because I don’t care about San Jose traffic? Really, where do you people come from? Mars?

No, just realistic and not a big baby. You choose to live 45 minutes from your job, not five miles. The redditor is unhappy because they now live hours from their job rather than 5 minutes (commute to home office). Jobs change. Think about people whose jobs got outsourced to another continent. That’s a problem. A longer commute? Get a different job, change the commute or deal with it.
