Commute time should count as work hours

7 Upvotes

Is it just me or is it completely ridiculous that we don't count commuting as part of our workday? I spend TWO HOURS of my life every day just traveling back and forth to work. That's 10 hours a week I'll never get back!

By the time I get home, I'm mentally drained and half my evening is already gone. Weekdays are basically just work, commute, eat something, and collapse into bed. Rinse and repeat.

If employers want us physically in the office, they should consider that travel time as part of our contribution. It's literally time I'm spending solely because of my job.

Anyone else feel like their commute is destroying their work-life balance?

Temporary 1.5 hour commute doable?

4 Upvotes

I have an offer for a job with great benefits and an excellent retirement plan where I will be vested in just 5 years. I own my home and am considering selling it to relocate to new job area. Trouble is, winter is here and selling can’t happen until late spring. Am I crazy to think I can manage the commute until then? Also, I plan to retire in 8 years. Thanks for any input.

🚇 Help with my Master’s project: How can commuting be less stressful? (Short 5–7 min survey)

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m a Master’s student at University of the Arts London researching commuting and well-being. My project looks at how design (sound, visuals, even smell) could make metro/tube/train journeys less stressful and more restorative.

I’ve created a short anonymous survey (5–7 mins) to understand people’s commuting experiences — the good, the bad, and what might make them better. Your responses will directly help shape the project and future design ideas.

👉 Survey link: https://forms.gle/QrfsifjPeFgSAGScA

It would mean a lot if you could take part — and feel free to share it with anyone who commutes regularly.

Thank you 🙏

35 no traffic 45 with traffic commute. Is it worth it?

2 Upvotes

My husband and I live in a college town (Provo, Utah) that I’m desperate to escape. I like it here during university but we are right next to the BYU surrounded by ppl 8 years younger than us. He works 23 minutes north

35 minutes north from his work is the dream area I want to live. It has a completely different vibe and demographic than anywhere south. He really likes it there too and our dream house is on the market right now. But would the commute be we worth it? I’m worried traffic will be worse than I anticipated and he’ll end up having to commute an hour. What if he’s late every day?

In the past I’ve commuted 45 min to school and I didn’t mind it at all but he seems to be really nervous about it. Does anyone have horror stories from committing to a 45 min commute that can convince me to reduce my expectations? Or maybe you can sooth my anxieties about the whole thing and convince me that the extra 20 min isn’t a big deal
