[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a parent of little kids with a 2 hour commute (I sought out a remote job because we live near my spouse's 5 day a week in person job), let me tell you how this is going to work.

I'm going to have to use a full day of leave for every appointment and every kid sick day, instead of a few hours split with my partner and/or making up work late. When I inevitably catch the flu or whatever after being home with sick kids, I'll be too low on leave to stay home longer, so I'll be bringing my illness on the train, metro, and into the office.

This is how it was with my oldest before I had a telework friendly job. I went in with pinkeye. I went in coughing and sneezing all day. I just didn't have the leave. [/quote]

A two hour commute? How are you within 50 miles? [/quote]

NP here. I live 19 miles from my office (which moved further from me last year).  Taking public transportation is a 64 minute ride alone, not including a 20 min drive to the metro station plus a 15 walk once off the metro. I could easily imagine someone having a 2 hour commute even if they live within 50 miles.[/quote]
