I negotiated with my company to count my commuting time as work time, since my bus is not crowded and I can always get on my laptop and work with a hotspot. So in a sense you could say I make money while commuting because it counts towards my working hours. I also get part of my afternoon back :)
- dantheman0207 9y agoOff topic, but how did you do that? Did you ask after having proven you got work done? Or did you bring it up at the initial interview?
- michaelgrafl 9y agoI'm not commuting anymore, but when I used to, I would try to get some work done on the train, and if I did, go home earlier without feeling bad about it. We didn't track time at that job. At my current company I can clock in via VPN and book time on whatever I'd work on, wherever I am. As long as I tell my superior that I won't be at the office, and as long as I don't have any meetings during that time, he's fine with it. I've committed to deadlines already, and if I don't meet them, he's in trouble, but so am I, so he trusts me.
