Suppose there are two employees: Alice and Bob, who do the same job at the same factory. Alice has a 10 minute (20RT) commute, Bob commutes 35 minutes(70RT).
If you’re the owner of the factory, would you compensate them for their commutes? How would you do it?
I commute an hour, but I only do so because it’s cheaper to live where I do instead of in the city I work in. I’m already compensated.
If I wanted a short commute I would be paying for it.
