So I could move to bumfuck nowhere and get paid to chill out in my car, while my coworkers pick up my slack?

No, that’s Alice’s problem.

It sounds like an incentive not to hire people who live too far away from the office to me.

Because the simplest option for the company is not to hire Bob.

Bob chose to live and work where he does, he can live with the consequences of his choices.

I don’t feel sorry for bob.

Who would hire Bob, in that case?

So either move house or move job then.

They have the choice of paying for the convenience of living close to work, or spending time commuting. That’s not something an employer will or should care about.

Is this their time as well, or just travel costs?

The answer is they don’t compensate them, because that would be silly.

Why would an employer care how far away their employees live, or compensate them for their travel?

Unless the employer also gets to decide where they can and can’t live, why should they compensate them?

I’ve always felt the serenity prayer was good life advice.

I’m surprised an older sibling was something you wanted, usually you want to be the oldest.

I thought there was a massive tape inside the radio, that had the radio station on, and that it was big enough that it didn’t need to be changed out.

A thousand Lemmygrad users just cried out in pain, and will soon arrive to downvote you.

That’s the case in most countries.

So many Hexbear dweebs trying to turn this into a political discussion, and nobody is taking the bait.

You can buy socks that have a left and right, but most don’t.

Depends who you ask really. They’re certainly the good guys if you’re being invaded by Russia.

Let me guess, you think Russia are the good guys? 😂

How did you think reverse worked?
