    This doesn’t entirely make sense, since commute is only a part of the routine. You could say, you wouldn’t be taking a shower, so the employer has to pay for the water and the time you spend in the shower, etc.

    The employer has no influence on where you live, why would they be paying for it?

    If the company is paying for your skills, sitting in traffic is not one of them. So it’s up to you to optimise your commute. (I.e. Bike, train, etc.)

        I prefer taking a shower in the evening. If you’re suggesting people should shower twice I day (instead of just a wash-up), you’re being wasteful.

          No, I’m suggesting taking a shower once a day should not be related at all with going to work or not.

        Eh, showering every day is bad for your skin and uses a lot of water. I work from home and definitely don’t shower every day especially if I’m only going to be leaving the house to walk my dog.

      using a bike or a train in America is the exact opposite of optimizing one’s commute.

      now I WFH - thankfully - but looking up my old commute (10 miles)

      27 mins by car

      110 mins by public transit

      105 mins by bike

      215 mins walking
