    I assume because they can’t find work closer to them, and can’t afford to move / have something holding them where they are at that time. No one’s doing it because they want too

      You’re talking what’s available to employees. I’m talking hiring choices. I’m not suggesting penalizing employees for commuting, although enough working people identify with this non-sense that its not out of the question either. My stance is no more extreme than the absurdity of what I’m against.

      Employers should be more about helping with moving expenses if they can’t find the talent they want close enough, and if the talent doesn’t want to or can’t afford to live close-by, look at increasing pay or even moving their operations. Instead of demanding people come off work-from-home to drive who-knows-how-far-away, the rules should say they can’t do that. Maybe they could open satellite offices if its worth even half the non-sense they spew.
