Mate I’ve done jobs that have had a 1.5hr commute before. What are you talking about?

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Seems more practical to me to just sleep at the office.

Congrats, but did you know that other people have problems that you don't? And that just because you can do something doesn't mean others can do it too?

We all have our problems in life, and you overcoming yours is meaningless to other people overcoming theirs.

But good job volunteering that your time is so worthless you're willing to waste 3 hours of it on a commute. The only time I've ever driven more than 45 min for a job was to a client site, and I was getting paid and the commute was part of my 8hrs.

The person I replied to was implying they can’t commute longer than 30 mins because they have kids.

In a thread about finding jobs.

There’s a shedload of people including me for whom narrowing their job prospects down to only jobs within 30mins commute would be wishful thinking, and borderline ridiculous.

My ‘mate what are you talking about’ was based on my perspective yes, but there’s large swathes of people who would laugh at your privilege.

Nice for you I suppose. And nice of you to be so self-righteously hostile too.

That is your prerogative, but it is not a wise one.

[-] foofiepie@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

I understand, but if you have to put food on the table, then that’s what you have to do.

Clearly he's talking about the constraints that kids put on his time.

[-] foofiepie@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

I also have kids.

Kids have to get to and from school

[-] foofiepie@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Oh fair enough if you’re ferrying them.

So the 30mins is essentially from latest drop off, to acceptable show up time at work then.

[-] NKBTN@feddit.uk 1 points 3 days ago

Exactly. My last job was great - had a 9:15 start which was more or less the perfect time when bussing in

[-] foofiepie@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Understood. It’s going to get a lot easier then when they can make their own way in.
