Reply to comment by KaiserTNT in I make 42k and I work from home 4 out of 5 days a week. I signed a 60k offer onsite 23 miles there and back 45 min, 45 min back. Does this make any sense? by RemarkableCell1859
Entitlement? Or perhaps you've been trained all your life that companies shouldn't be paying for your actual time.
Time is money and it is something you will never get back in your lifetime.
The OP essentially only getting paid $375 per week (or $75/day) more. He/she can easily earn that without commuting that much. Op is wasting roughly 2hours each day on commuting and preparation. Not to mention the cost of the devaluation of the car.
Give me a break on this "entitlement" bullshit

Uhhh, the only training that's relevant here is elementary level math. In your original comment you told a dude earning 42k a year he should refuse to drive more than 15 minutes for anything less than a 50k raise (more than double his salary, presumably based on a 40hr work week).
If you are really living the "time is money" ethos, you may want to revise your calculation.

18 000 / 12 / 4 = $375 per week (assuming he's getting paid bi-weekly)
I mean that's a rough estimate, but give or take the tax deductions, gas for the commute. He'll be taking home a lot less than that.
LOL, so what exactly is your point of argument? That OP shouldn't value their time and just salve away at work?
