    As someone that lives in a small city where my morning commute is 15 minutes, and 20 on the way home, this is fucking insane to me. 70 minutes is 3/4 of the way to the next town at highway speeds.

    Edit: To add to that, I work four 10s rather than five 8s a week. If I had to drive that long every day for work, I’d only have about an hour and a half - 2 hours to relax before it’s time for bed if I want 8 hours of sleep.

      Believe me, I know. I was lied to when I took this job.

      They said on site is only mandatory for the first two weeks to get up to speed.

      Then I can transition into work from home and come in only when needed.

      Then I approached them because it was almost 2 months at the time, and they replied with “You need supervision so you have to come in”.

      The part that pissed me off is that NO ONE sits next to me or helps me in any way all day.

      Dude, you can’t even travel 10 miles in 70 minutes during rush hour in big cities. Half the time you can get out and walk faster than the cars are moving.
