Everyone is working on solution for cleaner energy, electric cars and others, no one really makes an effort trying to solve how many of us just waste 2 hours of our lives on the road every day.
- toomuchtodo 11y agoBecause its a political/human problem unfortunately, not a tech problem. Remote work clearly works, you just need to incentivize companies to put it in place. Otherwise, they will continue to extract those hours a day of commuting from workers, the money workers put into public transit or their cars, etc. Externalities people!
- avitzurel 11y agoI was actually about to make this comment when you did. This is a matter of responsibility and perception. When you are help up in traffic you don't think of Facebook's and Google's responsibility for it, you think of the government. The solution for this is not hard, it's just something that no one seems to have the guts for making the decision. Sometimes I wonder, this 15,000$ incentive to employees make me think that no one is even thinking about it over there at Facebook.
- paganel 11y agoRemote work does not clearly work for everyone and everybody. It does not work for me, I need other people's presence and interaction for those 8 hours per day on order to feel like I'm doing meaningful work. Granted, I don't have kids nor pets to keep me company at my one-bedroom apartment.
