one of the better ideas I’ve heard recently is that commute time should be included in clocked hours
congratulations! companies now have motivation to hire people as close as possible to the workplace, as well as fire those who live further than everywhere else!
those optimizing fucks would run that idea into the ground, i think
Don’t you dare destroy my plan to move away from work to spend a full paid working day commuting!

well, other than no one can afford to live near the workplace
they’ll pick the most efficient option-- to them, it’s not “people HAVE to live this far away or less”. it’s “alright, who lives the farthest away and are potential new hires closer”. basically, they’d define “near” based on where employees live and where job applicants live.
it’d result in a world where the people who can afford to live closer than their coworkers are the people with more job security. it’d be more wealth inequality

This would be so shit, yeah.
In a later comment you imagine housing near the workplace to be an expensive way to boost your resume.
I imagine us one step closer to company towns. Housing thats owned and operated by an LLC connected to your workplace and housing issues and workplace issues become one and the same.
I don’t see the issue - company towns worked out great, right?
…right?
…oh no…
…oh no no ^no ^^no ^^^no ^^^^no ^^^^^no ^^^^^^no
Can I still clock out to play into the breach or do I then actually have to work on my commute?
The company doesn’t control how far away you live. Why should you get paid to listen to podcasts for two hours a day because you chose to live an hour away, and I only get paid for actual work?
Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime. That’s why I poop on company time.
Boss makes a grand, I make a dollar. I eat more fibre so breaks get even longer.

Yeah but the boss doesn’t need to know that
The boss makes a dollar,
I make a dime
That was a poem
From a simpler time.Now my boss makes a grand
While I make a cent
And he’s got employees
That can’t make the rentWhen the CEO makes a million
And we don’t make jack
That’s when we riot
To take it all backNow Mr investor
If this seems extreme
I have to remind you
It sure beats the guillotine
Don’t give companies ideas ( written from the bathroom at work)
(I like how you’re on Lemmy during that time (and how that gives you plausible deniability if somebody asks if your bathroom breaks need to be 30 minutes because you’re on reddit))

If I can clock in on the shitter that’s where I’d clock in every morning
“Nate, we need to talk about your login locations.”
“What’s wrong with me logging in on the China? Why is there a clock if it shouldn’t be used?”
“Nothing wrong with that, pal. But could you tell us why it’s the gents’ room on Mondays, the ladies’ one on Tuesdays, the disabled’s one on Wednesdays, the shitter in my private apartment on Thursdays and seemingly King Charles’ private golden toilet in his fox hunting hut near Essex on Fridays?”
