Bosses and workers still can’t agree on whether the commute is part of the work day, and it’s creating a $578 billion productivity problem ( fortune.com )

Allow WFH and pay us if you want us to come in.

Also, I remember paying for travel time when we needed a technician to come to our house and service something. So there is already precedent that traveling for work counts as work in itself. Hopefully that actually went to the tech and not their boss.

I like working in the office, but I hate having to spend an unpaid amount of time commutinh to work. If I could get paid travel time I’d be a very happy man.

Yeah, this is it. While I prefer WFH, I don’t mind working in the office, but I don’t want to spend more time driving to and from, that’s just more lost free time.

My company actually closed the office where I worked because we all went 100% remote and they never forced the issue. It wouldn’t have helped their case that we have dozens of other employees all over the country not linked to either of the company’s offices.
