‘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.

the analysis calculates the dollar value of a worker’s commuting time over a year.

That money comes out of the workers’ pockets, not the bosses’, so it doesn’t count. If it showed up on corporate budgets we’d have robust universal public transit in 30 minutes
