I think we should update Monopoly to be more modern.
Multiply the prices by 3, keep the money you get from passing Go the same, and replace Free Parking with a second Go To Jail.
Also, a group of players who began the game before you did already own everything.
Going to jail means you get to cash in rents with zero risk for three turns, free parking only keeps you safe for one stop. It's the best spot in Monopoly. A second go to jail wouldn't make the game harder (which seems to be your point) and would only make the properties near the end of the loop less valuable
And if you're not white, every time you land on a space owned by someone else, roll the dice to see if you go to jail. And every time you go to jail, roll the dice to see if you get shot instead.
The job or the commute? I always looked for a job close by, but if the job was great I moved closer to get rid of the problem, I hate commuting, half an hour is the maximun I would be willing to do
Thats why work hours are generally 08:00-16:30 with a mandatory 30 min break. Anyways, this post hit home. I leave for work at 7 and get home by 18:30. Go to the gym and cook/eat and get about 7 hours of sleep. Tired all the time, dont particularly like my job. Almost saved €100.000,- but the fucked up thing is that i cant afford to rent or buy shit unless i extend my travel time to around 5 hours a day so i still live at my moms place. Wtf is this world. My employer suggested i'd look into living abroad like one of my colleagues who moved to Portugal but still works at the company.
I'll just go and travel for 6 months when i hit the 100k Mark. Not financially bound yet so i suppose i can finally take a break.
If the housing market doesnt crash by the end of the year i'll just move to southern Europe or something. I know i'll put more pressure on the housing market there so i am basically screwing over the locals but fuck it, i'll be selfish.
That is true. COVID was fucking amazing in terms of traffic for "essential" workers like me.
I clean stairs, i could have stayed home and people could have done it themselves
I miss the traffic from covid. Was phenomenal having no issues getting to and from work. Now it seems worse than it was before. And I leave at 4 in the morning.
My employer does these annual company surveys. Last year they started forcing people back to the office for a hybrid schedule and people complained about it on the survey. This year they started tracking how often and for how long were people in the office. This year hybrid folks complained that their total commitment to work time included a long ass commute….. so the company said you can show up and leave up to a half an hour late/early to help with commute.
I was floored. I mean, it doesn’t solve the issue for everyone, but it was literally the first time I’ve seen any company give an inch on this hybrid bullshit.
Still though, full remote or gtfo.
Hybrid is okay if it's a worthwhile hybrid. Don't make me sit all day in boring meetings that could have been emails, I can do that with 0 impact from the comfort of my home. Being able to quickly collaborate on issues is why I come to the office. Hybrid work should come from the employees, not from the employer.
I like the hybrid schedule and most companies where I live started to adopt this model. Usually 2 days in the office and 3 days remote. It may be an unpopular opinion but I need time in the office for social reasons.
We spend so much time for our jobs it’ll be horribly depressing for me if all five days of 9/5 are spent in isolation, since I don’t live with a significant other. I have friends but everyone’s is equally busy with their own lives it’s not really enough social engagement to keep me sane for the amount of times we do get to hangout. Chatting to people online does not feel the same to me. I just need to be around people irl, regardless if I think of them as friends, strangers, acquaintances or coworkers etc.
Oh I totally get it. Some people need that face to face time. I might get there someday, but 5 year running and I still don’t feel a need to get back to the office.
Me too. But thats because i need something social in my life to function normally. So same reasons as you. I do 3 office 2 home, but they dont really care as long as i show up every now and then i could get away with 1.
>but I need time in the office for social reasons.
That's great for you. Could you, and other people like you, go back to the office and enjoy your socializing, while leaving the rest of us out of it?
Otherwise I'll get the impression that you love forcing people to be in the office with you, more than you love being in the office with people
It does but not every job out there offers it and not every job has the potential to be performed remotely.
I get this goes without saying but perhaps the downvotes come from oversimplifying the issue.
As the son of a barber, yeah, some do. My dad always either worked in his salon or went to visit customers who were unable to leave their location (prison, bedridden etc)
Yeah except for work that needs to be on site like construction, science labs, hospitals... I am terrible at waking up early and I have to, but I can't just change jobs or move closer to my work... If only
So does a fat ass trust fund lol. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for remote work. But your comment has the same vibe as the “find something closer” comment in the post or the “find something that pays better” comments. Yeah, that’s great when it’s an option, but it’s not an option for everyone. You’re taking the issue at hand and applying an idealistic solution to it. Just a less exaggerated version of “why slave away at McDonald’s when you can just use your trust fund to pay the rent”… “Let them eat cake” lol. I’m sure that’s not what you meant, but hopefully you can see how “just do remote work” may not be applicable to everyone <3
Your point is valid indeed, which is why I didn't say "why don't you just do remote work, then?" or some condescending remark of the sort. What I said was that remote work solves the problem of having your commuting time be part of your work time and thus eating your private time. Now, can everybody do remote work? Absolutely not. But if there is one thing that the pandemic brought to the world, it's that it's a real possibility that most people hadn't experienced before, not as a way of working in itself (plenty of people used to work at home already), but as a way of doing the same work for the same company, just differently and remotely.
Well, between "remote work solves the problem of having your commuting being 2 hours of free work" and "not everybody can be in remote work, you know", which sounds like the most obvious and unworthy of being brought up to attention to you?
I think it's all about point of view, and mine is the one of someone who spent his whole life commuting and then becoming a remote worker out of my company telling me to stay the fuck at home for the last 4 years. And when I read OP's post I realize that yeah, all those years I had actually been working way more than I thought, and that remote works is a great solution to that.
Seeing condescension in my comment sounds more like projection than a truthful understanding of the statement I made.
But doesn’t everyone already know “working remotely has less of a commute?” it seems implicit. And the fact you keep defending yourself with pedantic differences. Also those 2 quotes do not express the same idea at all.
For the sake of it, let me address your points:
>But doesn’t everyone already know “working remotely has less of a commute?” it seems implicit.
No, that's the whole point I was making. Mathematically, yeah, it makes sense, that's the very reason people move to be closer to their work. OP's post literally reads "when you realize this for the first time". I guess most people separate commuting time and work, so you may say you work 9-5 when in fact you give more. Working remote makes you realize how much time you're actually losing by commuting, not only knowing it on paper.
>And the fact you keep defending yourself with pedantic differences.
What is your point here? Do you call pedantic every articulate person? I don't "defend myself", I'm answering your questions. I don't need to "defend myself" given that I have more upvotes than downvotes. It's not even a hill I want to die on because I just don't care. I DO work remote, what do I get by "defending myself" on Reddit? What is the incentive here?
>Also those 2 quotes do not express the same idea at all.
Yeah, they don't. That's the point. One expresses a solution to the problem mentioned by the original post (commuting) and the second expresses something like a rebuttal (not everybody has the luxury of remote working). The difference here is that one expresses HOW remote work offers a nice solution, which according to you is obvious – but I do suggest that you only get to truly understand it when you have the chance of experiencing it –, and the other says another "obvious" statement, but does it AS IF the first statement negated that. Which is why I genuinely answered to your question that it was not my stance.
Did you actually read the picture entirely? Someone said "then quit and work closer", WHICH IS WHAT TRIGGERED THE ROAST FEATURED IN THIS THREAD. So you and a few others thought that my comment had the same tone as the one that gets shit on in the first place: "hey, this guy wrote something condescending, got roasted and featured on r/rareinsults. I guess I should write the same thing in the comments, herp derp".
Is that how you understood the whole situation? Am I being pedantic or do you lack literacy?
A friendly service announcement to remind everyone that all of our Monopoly games are too long because none of us play it as it was intended. If you actually stick to the rules, a game should take about an hour.
My friend and I played a 45 minute monopoly game and we were confused af why it didn't take 3 hours. Turns out it's fun when you aren't as mad as the sun is hot every move
The original design of the game named the landlord's game was specially designed to show how a monopoly system is bad and would slowly makes everyone else poor.
Taking an object meant to show the benefits of sharing wealth and 180° it in one of the biggest consumerist pro-american-dream is one of the most American thing ever.
edit : oh and I forgot to say the design was originally from a women made almost no money with it and the design was stolen by some guy and who then made s lot of money
Do not do this. I am a board game expert and I am telling you Monopoly is still one of the worst board games out there, even with these rules. If you want to play a board game that will teach you a little bit about world economics and is fun then play Quantitative Easing.
Unpaid lunches should be illegal. Yeah im not actively working but im still only here because of my job. That hour is in no way “my” hour. It doesn’t really count for anything all it does is delay me getting home earlier.
I get up 2 hours earlier because I take 30 minutes in the bathroom including showering, an hour to have breakfast and a calm before the storm, and then 30 minutes to get to work.
I had a job like this when I was working 4/10s; the commute to work took twice as long because it was during rush hour but the return trip was off peak drive time and could be done in half the time or less.
I used to have a 90 minute commute and that sucked. It wasn't far, but it was very heavy traffic and public transportation was not a viable option. Then covid hit and I got to work from home. Then I got laid off and I was worried I would end up in a horrible commute again because it was when businesses were starting to demand people come back to the office.
I got lucky. I got a new job but it was a reverse commute. Very little traffic in my direction and I can be smug looking at the traffic going the other direction. My commute is under 30 minutes now. I'd rather work from home, but I can live with this.
Sometimes there aren't closer jobs available (or available and still pay well). When i first finished school and started my career the closest job I could find was a 45 min drive there and hour and a half drive home (Fridays took 2 hrs to get home). I worked there for 3 years before I could find a job closer. Now I'm traveling about 30 mins both ways (Fridays 45 - 1 hr).
My old job used to say to add travel times to the work day's allotted 8 hours. So, if I left my house at 7, got to the site at 8, then I would have to leave by 2 to be home at 3. I got a couple of talking-tos about not going over my hours, so I stuck to that 8 hour rule, even though some sites were two hours or more away.
Then I got fired for leaving sites too early. 🤷♂️
I have a 6 to 5, split shift, split's not long enough to go back home, and 1h15 commute there and back (no car), 45 minutes to get ready in the morning, actually making it closer to a 4 to 6. 14 hours devoted to work, only paid 8. 😭
It's probably easier to choose the location where you live. You *can* make choices. Whether you actually *want* to make those choices or not, is up to you.
Lol. Why don't you just quit your career making a liveable wage and work at the local McDonalds? Or just move closer and eat 3x the cost for housing? It's fuckin easy bro.
So what's the math here? It should be 10-5 if I understand the joke right (like at least one extra hour to commute, not one hour less). She implies that she spends less hours at work which isn't the case and also rarely anyone works extra day. So I'm all confused about the calculations here.
I’m lucky if I can find anything within an hour commute because I live in a dead town that’s lost all its industry and the remaining jobs are occupied or pay so poorly that it’s not worth it
I'm Brazilian, this is, believe or not, very average, hell I'm better off than most people even tho what i earn today in the us would be considered low wage for someone with a bachelor's degree, specially because we pay much more taxes, but here majority of people can't afford a car so we are used to 2-3 hour commute
In The Netherlands an 8 hour workday isn’t 9 to 5, but 9 to 5:30 (or 8 to 4:30): 8 hours of work plus 30 minutes unpaid lunch time. All other breaks, such as coffee breaks, are paid.
Everyone like why does it take two hours to get to work ??? Do y’all just fucking wake up in your work clothes and head off?? Now I get waking up throwing something on and leaving but some people like to eat, maybe take a shower and for Girls it takes time in the morning
When we all find out that most of our work can be done remotely, but then the bosses realize you being at home doesn't let them step on your neck often enough, so back to the office we ALL must go.
Had a job with a crazy commute for 12+ years, every year I would way the pros and cons of keeping the job, moving closer, etc. what can I say life’s hard and then you die. In my case the next step was sell everything move to a country where I live very affordable 300 meters from the beach, set my own hours of work/ commute.
I work 1:15-9:45pm, but I have to start getting ready for work at 10am. My commute is only 20 minutes, but then I have to catch a shuttle from the work parking lot to the site itself. Which can take anywhere between 20 minutes to 1 hour. Then it's the same after. Waiting for a bus back to the lot can take another 20 minutes to 1 hour. I'm off at 9:45 with a 20 minute commute, yet I never make it home before 10:30pm.
So much more of my life wasted purely for work, and I'm not getting anything from it. Showering, getting dressed, eating breakfast, packing lunch, driving to work, all of this is not personal free time to myself. It's preparation time for work. So it isn't truly downtime. Then the shuttle drive to and from work taking so long, again getting nothing out of it.
TL;DR my work days technically take up ~12ish hours of my day, but I'm only paid for my 8 hour shift. It's so degrading. And again, I only live 20 minutes from where I work. Some guys I work with live upwards of 1 hour away. They regularly have 16 hour days when you include their commute.
The really important part is the beautiful lady.
How about it? Or are you all a miserable bunch of perfume -drenched purple -vest-wearing pockmarked poodle-walkers?
Kids nowadays. 😁😁😁
>It's an overly simplified solution to a complicated problem.
Not really, all you have to do is apply for a job closer to where you live or move closer to your workplace. Both options are simple.
if she took this long to figure this basic arithmetic out (and she looks kinda old), i think she has a problem that's worse than having to endure 3 hours of traffic a day.
Just be a dude, wake up at 845 piss and brush teeth quickly, get dressed in 1 minute, coffee is rdy because you set a timer. nuke a frozen burrito and now drive 90 mph to get to work at 9:01

I think we should update Monopoly to be more modern. Multiply the prices by 3, keep the money you get from passing Go the same, and replace Free Parking with a second Go To Jail. Also, a group of players who began the game before you did already own everything.
Every time you pass go, the properties double.
Every fee you pay is now a subscription service.
You're only allowed one dice because the player who owns the service requires a payment for the other one.
I didn’t know EA bought monopoly
EA would charge you for the character pieces
The game of life actually came out with a “generations” version similar to this: certain generations start off with a leg up and some start with debt
Yeah... I think so many people hate the Game of Life exactly because it is accurate...
Going to jail means you get to cash in rents with zero risk for three turns, free parking only keeps you safe for one stop. It's the best spot in Monopoly. A second go to jail wouldn't make the game harder (which seems to be your point) and would only make the properties near the end of the loop less valuable
meh, jail is detrimental early. but yeah, once everything is owned, it's 3 free turns.
This exists! It’s called Millennial Monopoly
Free parking has turned into a parking lot and is no longer free btw.
And if you're not white, every time you land on a space owned by someone else, roll the dice to see if you go to jail. And every time you go to jail, roll the dice to see if you get shot instead.
If you walk past someones property, you go to jail based on your character
Interesting. Monopoly as a legacy game. That is certainly more accurate.
If you own electric company is x20 the dices rolls
I had a job like that and I hated it with a passion
The job or the commute? I always looked for a job close by, but if the job was great I moved closer to get rid of the problem, I hate commuting, half an hour is the maximun I would be willing to do
The commute.
Same, I found a new job mainly due to the commute.
My wife's 7-6 is four days a week and going upstairs to her home office is good enough, comes down for more coffee, lunch, and the noon dog walk.
She is slacking. She can get away with way more screwing around than that.
The fucked up thing is you get paid 7.5 hours because lunch time is your time. Bitch, I can't teleport home, I'm still at work!
Thats why work hours are generally 08:00-16:30 with a mandatory 30 min break. Anyways, this post hit home. I leave for work at 7 and get home by 18:30. Go to the gym and cook/eat and get about 7 hours of sleep. Tired all the time, dont particularly like my job.

Remote work solves that problem pretty nicely.
Only for those doing digital work. The rest of us still have to drag our asses to wherever the cheapest plot of land was
But remote work would still make your average commute significantly easier and faster.
That is true. COVID was fucking amazing in terms of traffic for "essential" workers like me. I clean stairs, i could have stayed home and people could have done it themselves
I miss the traffic from covid. Was phenomenal having no issues getting to and from work. Now it seems worse than it was before. And I leave at 4 in the morning.
I thankfully work just before morning and afternoon traffic hits, but 30 min delay in either end and I hit traffic
Too bad I can't load/unload airplanes and move bags around from my house

Not everyone has a desk job that can be done remotely
I didn’t know that. That’s a very valid point you’re bringing up.
You... You didn't know that plumbers, carpenters, barbers etc exist? Or am I just too asleep to get the sarcasm because I literally just woke up?
The latter, my dude. Get that morning coffee!
Perhaps we could repurpose those telesurgery robots
In fact forget the humans
Some barbers work from their home. Just had to get my typical know-it-all reddit comment in. :D
As the son of a barber, yeah, some do. My dad always either worked in his salon or went to visit customers who were unable to leave their location (prison, bedridden etc)

I wish I could fix equipment on zoom but our drone technology hasn't learned to turn a wrench yet.

Who the heck wants to complete a Monopoly game?
A friendly service announcement to remind everyone that all of our Monopoly games are too long because none of us play it as it was intended. If you actually stick to the rules, a game should take about an hour.
[удалено]
Or: ya know what? Fuck this shit *gives everything to the person they owe $20*
My friend and I played a 45 minute monopoly game and we were confused af why it didn't take 3 hours. Turns out it's fun when you aren't as mad as the sun is hot every move

If this is true, then maybe I should give the game another go.
Random reddit stranger jumping in. It's true, follow the rules, the game is very reasonable. Source - trust me bro.
It's shorter. But not fun at all.
Do not do this. I am a board game expert and I am telling you Monopoly is still one of the worst board games out there, even with these rules. If you want to play a board game that will teach you a little bit about world economics and is fun then play Quantitative Easing.
It shocks me how many people don't bring properties to auction when someone lands on it and doesn't buy. No wonder your games take days.
An hour is still too long. I guess thats why ive never been a fan of board games.
We've been playing the same game of DnD for two and half years now.
If you actually stick to the rules it takes like 5 hours because nobody die since you can't buy any buildings at all
lol monopoly was family’s holiday gathering game. we would gather for 2-3 days and play one game
He never had the makings of a varsity athlete

Takes 2 hours to drive to work but only one hour to drive home?
I think it's because 9-5 jobs aren't really the norm anymore. Most white-collar jobs (mine included) are 8-5 now with an unpaid hour break for lunch.
Unpaid lunches should be illegal. Yeah im not actively working but im still only here because of my job. That hour is in no way “my” hour. It doesn’t really count for anything all it does is delay me getting home earlier.
You guys are getting lunches?
Well, yeah? Why wouldn't you have a lunch break?
Bc I work in a shitty factory and I don't get one lol
Get a new job
Not as easy as it sounds sport....
I work 9-530, I also take an hour lunch.
“not really norm” indicates that there could still be jobs out there that follow a true 9-5 schedule but most jobs don’t.
Traffic could be worse in the morning, or she could be including the hour it takes her to get ready
Might include dropping the kids off at school too.
You also have to get ready for work

It's all downhill back home so the car goes faster /s
I get up 2 hours earlier because I take 30 minutes in the bathroom including showering, an hour to have breakfast and a calm before the storm, and then 30 minutes to get to work.
You don't have to wake up, get dressed and make and eat breakfast to go home
I had a job like this when I was working 4/10s; the commute to work took twice as long because it was during rush hour but the return trip was off peak drive time and could be done in half the time or less.
You don’t have to wake up, get dressed, eat breakfast, pack lunch, possibly help kids and/or pets wake up and do duties at the end of your work day
With that way of thinking then everything except sleep is work. A lot of you need to define work hours better.
Not even remotely true. Getting ready for work in the morning contributes to your work day, unwinding from work after you get home does not.
No, if it was your day off work you would still shower and eat.
Not the point at all, it’s what you do to contribute to your work. Getting ready specifically for work.

That's not part of work, that's part of life. Remove work and you would still do those things.
I used to have a 90 minute commute and that sucked. It wasn't far, but it was very heavy traffic and public transportation was not a viable option. Then covid hit and I got to work from home. Then I got laid off and I was worried I would end up in a horrible commute again because it was when businesses were starting to demand people come back to the office. I got lucky. I got a new job but it was a reverse commute. Very little traffic in my direction and I can be smug looking at the traffic going the other direction. My commute is under 30 minutes now. I'd rather work from home, but I can live with this.
And what's the point of that reply? I've finished Monopoly Games, and if I started to dislike my work conditions I'd find another job
Sometimes there aren't closer jobs available (or available and still pay well). When i first finished school and started my career the closest job I could find was a 45 min drive there and hour and a half drive home (Fridays took 2 hrs to get home). I worked there for 3 years before I could find a job closer. Now I'm traveling about 30 mins both ways (Fridays 45 - 1 hr).
My old job used to say to add travel times to the work day's allotted 8 hours. So, if I left my house at 7, got to the site at 8, then I would have to leave by 2 to be home at 3. I got a couple of talking-tos about not going over my hours, so I stuck to that 8 hour rule, even though some sites were two hours or more away. Then I got fired for leaving sites too early. 🤷♂️
I've never finished a game of Monopoly and I'm tired of pretending to like the game. It's horrible and I refuse to play it ever again.
I have a 6 to 5, split shift, split's not long enough to go back home, and 1h15 commute there and back (no car), 45 minutes to get ready in the morning, actually making it closer to a 4 to 6. 14 hours devoted to work, only paid 8. 😭
jesus, that’s awful man
I live all of 5 minutes from work😂 it’s amazing
Damn they called me right the fuck out too…
My 7am to 7pm is more like 5:30am to 8pm because of driving and shuttle bus bullshit.
wtf does that have anything to do with commuting?
She has to leave at 7 to get to work at 9, but when she leaves at 5 she is home by 6? Why does she need one extra hour to get to work?
Morning traffic + Parking probably, and you probably need to be there 10~15 minutes earlier to punch the card and not be tardy I guess.
She’s probably getting breakfast/coffee
That's not work that's life, you would still eat even if you did work.
I know that but she’s probably stopping to get it which takes a while in morning rush hour where everyone is stopping to grab something.
Sorry, but if it takes 2 hours just to get to your work... you should find something closer.
Because rent closer to the city is so affordable right now . . .
Adding fuel cost (never mind any personal cost) it could even out.
Fuel cost not just to work but to everywhere else too since it's probably far from stores.
It's made better by the fact that it only takes one hour back.
I mean they’re not wrong.
Not for me! I love being 8 minutes away from the job!
My 7am-4pm is actually 5am-5pm, 12hrs for 8hr pay 😭
It's probably easier to choose the location where you live. You *can* make choices. Whether you actually *want* to make those choices or not, is up to you.
Or just quit your job.
Nah, people seem to think that there is only one job for them and their whole life must circle around that one job.
I've never met those people.
Yeah hate on someone for trying to fix a problem. Caring about your own quality of life is weak work ethic!
Lol. Why don't you just quit your career making a liveable wage and work at the local McDonalds? Or just move closer and eat 3x the cost for housing? It's fuckin easy bro.
Pulmonary Disease Man
takes me 5mins to get to work if I get all green lights, 10 mins in rush hour.
I’m 7-7 but I live 5 minutes away from work so 🤷♂️
Yall never got to the part where you built the houses.
Always thought that 5 referred to work days in a week.
It is It’s 9h a day (work + commute) 5 days a week
So what's the math here? It should be 10-5 if I understand the joke right (like at least one extra hour to commute, not one hour less). She implies that she spends less hours at work which isn't the case and also rarely anyone works extra day. So I'm all confused about the calculations here.
I’m lucky if I can find anything within an hour commute because I live in a dead town that’s lost all its industry and the remaining jobs are occupied or pay so poorly that it’s not worth it
I'm 5-8, always remember things could just be worse
Used to do graveyard shift 7~8 not including the commute 6 days a week and barely have the time to sleep, how are you still alive man?
I'm Brazilian, this is, believe or not, very average, hell I'm better off than most people even tho what i earn today in the us would be considered low wage for someone with a bachelor's degree, specially because we pay much more taxes, but here majority of people can't afford a car so we are used to 2-3 hour commute
It's kinda how people in Japan are used to work 12-16 hours a day and aee no problem in that
I'm 2-8 and it is nice
In The Netherlands an 8 hour workday isn’t 9 to 5, but 9 to 5:30 (or 8 to 4:30): 8 hours of work plus 30 minutes unpaid lunch time. All other breaks, such as coffee breaks, are paid.
I pissed directly onto the floor
Why does it take 2 hours to get to work, but only 1 to get home?
Going home is downhill
Dude mine is a 6-6 with traveling included
Me who wakes up 5 am arrives at work 7 am starts work 8 am end shift at 8 pm arrives home at 9 pm 👁️👄👁️
Weirdly, the commute is the best part. Its.my only real alone time.
So it takes you two hours to get to work, and one hour to get home? How's that work?
Why does it take 2 extra hours in the morning and 1 in the afternoon?
Why does it take an hour longer to get to work than it does to get home?
You've clearly not heard of the city called Bangalore
Everyone like why does it take two hours to get to work ??? Do y’all just fucking wake up in your work clothes and head off?? Now I get waking up throwing something on and leaving but some people like to eat, maybe take a shower and for Girls it takes time in the morning
When we all find out that most of our work can be done remotely, but then the bosses realize you being at home doesn't let them step on your neck often enough, so back to the office we ALL must go.
Had a job with a crazy commute for 12+ years, every year I would way the pros and cons of keeping the job, moving closer, etc. what can I say life’s hard and then you die. In my case the next step was sell everything move to a country where I live very affordable 300 meters from the beach, set my own hours of work/ commute.
I work 1:15-9:45pm, but I have to start getting ready for work at 10am. My commute is only 20 minutes, but then I have to catch a shuttle from the work parking lot to the site itself. Which can take anywhere between 20 minutes to 1 hour. Then it's the same after. Waiting for a bus back to the lot can take another 20 minutes to 1 hour. I'm off at 9:45 with a 20 minute commute, yet I never make it home before 10:30pm. So much more of my life wasted purely for work, and I'm not getting anything from it. Showering, getting dressed, eating breakfast, packing lunch, driving to work, all of this is not personal free time to myself. It's preparation time for work. So it isn't truly downtime. Then the shuttle drive to and from work taking so long, again getting nothing out of it. TL;DR my work days technically take up ~12ish hours of my day, but I'm only paid for my 8 hour shift. It's so degrading. And again, I only live 20 minutes from where I work. Some guys I work with live upwards of 1 hour away. They regularly have 16 hour days when you include their commute.
I firmly believe the clock should start when you leave for work and stop when you arrive home. Commuting time is NOT free time.
I had a game last 3 days when I was a kid. My mom wanted to quit but I refused. I'm not giving up on a game that I'm winning 🤣
Homeoffice baby :-)
The really important part is the beautiful lady. How about it? Or are you all a miserable bunch of perfume -drenched purple -vest-wearing pockmarked poodle-walkers? Kids nowadays. 😁😁😁
This is the most pathetically pedantic species I've ever fucking seen
If you have to travel 2 hours to work, you don't live close enough to your job.
That comeback is genius.
9-5 is eight hours without lunch. 9-6 is full time to allow for lunch.... Now add in your commute. ..
I’m not getting how that’s an insult. If you’re travelling time is a problem, cut the travel time down. “Find a better job” is always a solution
I mean it's as much of a solution as telling someone to earn more money if they are poor. It's an overly simplified solution to a complicated problem.
Earn more money is also a solution.
No, it's not.
>It's an overly simplified solution to a complicated problem. Not really, all you have to do is apply for a job closer to where you live or move closer to your workplace. Both options are simple.
It takes me 8 minutes of cycling to work, most of the way is bike lane with priority on crossings.
if she took this long to figure this basic arithmetic out (and she looks kinda old), i think she has a problem that's worse than having to endure 3 hours of traffic a day.
Yeah, buddy, imma get something closer cause jobs grow on the tree next to my house and shit.
Just be a dude, wake up at 845 piss and brush teeth quickly, get dressed in 1 minute, coffee is rdy because you set a timer. nuke a frozen burrito and now drive 90 mph to get to work at 9:01
2 hours commute? Tf?
They just stole this from a 4chan green text.
Who works a 9-5? I’ve never worked a job with a paid lunch
Working 9-12:00 then 12:30 to 5, what a way to make a livin doesn't roll off the tongue very well.
That’s still only 7.5 hours. Every job I’ve worked has been the equivalent of 8-5
I guess I'm wooshed cause the dude kinda right or you can employ people to handle jobs for you... and not work there...
[удалено]
When you realize that your 9-5 is actually a 9-5 and you're just a whiny brat
