As everyone else is saying it’d take a significant bump in pay that not only offsets my incurred daily commute expenses but also gives me a meaningful weekly take home increase.

Plus I work better by myself at home where I can control my daily interruptions vs having to put up with annoying coworkers in-person who could just walk into my office whenever they wanted so I feel like going back to an office would impact the quality of my produced work.

Still though, the point remains that we wouldn’t be in this spot to begin with if the critical rail road workers weren’t being consistently nickel-and-dime’d by the mega-corp rail companies.
