I have just been requested to commute three days a week 135 miles away each way from my home (I have not moved) to an office I was never required to attend before the pandemic starting end of September.

If anyone needs remote product/infrastructure/platform engineering or backend developer who has 15 years cloud deployment experience and data center to cloud migration experience, email me on spotter@referentiallabs.com.

@SusanPotter I think I'd reply "I assume this promotion to a hybrid work position comes with a 35% payrise to cover the 12-15 hours travel time per week, and a company car or equivalent allowance? if you can draw the contract up I'll review it later this week"

@gsuberland @SusanPotter Never in hell does 35% payment increase make up for losing 15 hours a week to stupid car time

@Profpatsch @SusanPotter it wasn't qualitative; I calculated (40+12)/40 and rounded up to the nearest 5%.

@gsuberland @SusanPotter
Yeah, but car hours are just waste of energy and life time, unless you see your proper work the same way they should incur a steep premium compared to normal salaried hours imo.

@Profpatsch @SusanPotter hence why I said it wasn't qualitative.

@Profpatsch @SusanPotter and if the response to a linear scaling of salary to extra hours is scoffed at, you already know what their response would be to a more qualitative adjustment.
