I mean, you could get a closer gig. Even if it pays less, the free time is worth it. My commute is 30 min-1hr and I still hate it. Wish I’d kept the job that was a seven-minute walk away from my house.
I work remotely, so I’m not affected by this personally, but I recognize that other people just aren’t lucky enough to be able to choose a job that’s close and convenient. Some people simply don’t have a choice in the matter and they take the job they can get.
If you got a 2 hour commute it is time to not
It’s not like people choose to have a two hour commute.
Yeah like in my case, I live in a rural area and don’t have much of a choice but to have long commutes to work because most of the jobs are in cities.
Genuine question - have you considered options for moving? Long commutes are a huge opportunity cost and time sink!
Yes I’m definitely considering moving. That along with poor quality Internet service and limited ISP options is what’s mostly making me want to move.
