The executive team can trim a few million off their annual bonuses so the very low number of workers that commute far distances can be compensated for that time sitting in the car.
Alas they can but they won’t and they’ll fight you in court so they don’t have to.
- ivalm 7y agoAverage commute looks roughly like ~1 hour/day [0]. For a company like Apple there are 137k employees [1] and ~250 work days/year so that's ~34M hours. Assuming hourly rate of $20/hour (since well paid employees like SWE are salaried and won't get extra pay) we get ~$680M/year extra payroll... Eh, I guess they could afford it, although my questions still stand.

- tomatotomato37 7y agoSo we will be limiting this new regulation to businesses that actually can actually make a few million in profit instead of just pasting it across the whole commercial space, right?
- debt 7y agoI don’t see why exceptions couldn’t be made for smaller businesses that obviously couldn’t afford to compensate for commute. But yes enormous, corporate conglomerates should pay.
