return2ozma'Wildly more expensive': Workers with in-office jobs spend about $31/day that they wouldn't working from home — here's what employers need to do
CyborganismExactly.
3.25$ X 2 for the metro fare. Approx 5$ for a cup of coffee 25-30$ for lunch. A few bucks more on maybe a drink or a snack.
This adds up.
25-30 for lunch, wtf?? In western eu it’s 5, maybe 7 if you get a drink.
Also just pack your lunch ffs
just make sure it doesn’t smell, stain, is difficult to eat, is easy to prepare, easy to clean and you’ve measured out the right amount to prevent wastage.
or just let me work from home?! which is better in every way?! for everyone involved?!
And all of this is why the lunch meat sandwich is the king and standard of packed lunches. I normally swap between packing a lunch meat sandwich or a pb&j for lunch or I’ll go broke grabbing takeout
I need to start doing this.
I agree WFH is good but I feel like people exaggerate how hard it is to bring your own lunch. I ate an apple with nut butter today because I was too lazy to meal prep. Yeah, I have low standards, yeah it’s not exactly filling but whatever. I’ve saved hundreds by just sucking it up having a shitty lunch when I’m too lazy to meal prep.
TO BE CLEAR: I 100% support WFH. Fuck greedy, lazy employers who refuse it for no reason, we should all continue to fight for WFH. Acting like there is no alternative to buying lunch every day is a cop out.
It’s not that it’s super hard to bring your own lunch, but it’s definitely hard-er. People just get mad when their employers won’t recognize that there’s a difference between wfh and commuting.
