imagine if employers had to pay for commute time. they'd figure out really fuckin fast how many jobs can be done remotely.

@sayyid_qishta I've been thinking about the concept of paying for what it actually costs people to work. (as in increase where necessary etc).

So are you disabled? You get paid more.
Do you need to commute? You get paid more.
etc etc etc. (It's not a compelte thought for fairly obvious reasons, so the examples are very vague and general)

I think this would backfire really fast.

My friend's mom is a social worker (long retired now). Her first job (with a Masters degree) was taking over for a man who was moving onto something else. She was told upfront that she would be paid less because she didn't need as much money as she had a man (her husband) who would take care of her.
