Comment on The time and expense of commuting is theft, if that job can be done from home.

  The rich and poor alike are prohibited from sleeping under bridges. Just choose a better job! Easy! Why didn’t everyone else think of that?

      It’s because you opened with “Accepting an onsite job […] places the responsibility on you to be able to commute there”, as if people are choosing this when there are other options. This “responsibility” is foisted onto people by management that demands it, and a society that demands most people labor or die. Saying “you accepted this under duress, now accept the consequences” is crap.

      The rest of your point about reliable transportation and fair wages is fine.

  This fails to take into account unemployment rates or any other factors that apply pressure to such decision-making. We need legislation that enshrines payment for commute time universally, as it would encourage WFH mandates rather than RTO ones. As well as compensate other workers for their commute. Or perhaps a flat rate of one hour each way’s pay no matter the distance, to stop certain workers finding it harder to get a job.

  My employer gives everyone an annual public transport ticket for commuting.

    Taking into account expenses, and no need to financially budget for travel and stress about it, this is a fairly low cost way to satisfy your employees. Is the work not possibly WFH or employer would rather have people in office?

      It’s in Germany, people are really weird about WFH. Most people were forced back into the office, even software developers.

      Can you use that for non-work travel too?

        Yes. The ticket is valid on most public transport at all times.
