[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dad worked for the fed govt in the 80s and 90s and left our house at 5:00 am to drive a vanpool van from PWC to DC. He would
be home around 4 pm, except once a
month when then whole vanpool donated blood in order to get to leave work two hours early. This was a normal commuting schedule in our MC neighborhood for federal workers.

I am/was one of those. I can't telework because my jobs don't allow it. I never have.

This whole thread is bizarre to me. I can't imagine complaining about having to show up to a job that you were hired for. How did we get so screwed up that people complain about having to work in person? [/quote]

It's not the job I was hired for. The job I was hired for was remote. If you're having trouble understanding, imagine you took a job and then you were told you had a couple of weeks to add three hours of daily commuting to your schedule. You can do it, just maybe close your eyes for a second and really concentrate if you're struggling with it. [/quote]

Pp should imagine how well they would like if their job suddenly moved offices to the other side of town. I think that gets to the crux of the issue here.[/quote]
What's your point? It happened to me many times. I've also changed jobs a few times and had to change my commute. [/quote]

The thing about changing a job is you're making the decision to make this work in your life.

But if you have "many times" been told you have two weeks to commute an additional three hours a day, I think that's actually rare and weird and you have my sympathy. [/quote]
