‘I just couldn’t do that drive any more’: Woman left job due to three-hour commute on N7

‘I just couldn’t do that drive any more’: Woman left job due to three-hour commute on N7 - Sopuli

What makes this Not The Onion to me is how normalized this story is. How did things get to this point? Would she be happy with a job that only had a 2 1/2 hour commute each way!? Maybe, and that is what makes it existentially funny to me.

I remember reading that commute time is the number one predictor for leaving a job. I wonder what the evidence would show if I properly looked it up.

The study that I think of is the one that attempted to quantify how much a 45+ minute commute was worth to employees vs. an equivalent job that had a trivial commut but paid less. It came out to at least $15,000 a year and that was awhile ago.
