I quit early 2021.
Among other things, the fact that my employer was okay seeing me commuting 3 hours daily and paying it out of my pocket.
Honestly, I didn't mind the commute (first class train, direct line, time deductible if I work in the train, office 2 mins away from train station) but the topic of long commutes and their health impact started becoming regularly covered in the news. I began to realize I was being mistreated/disrespected. I shared my feelings with my manager and HR and they didn't offer me any support.
Along with the invisible career path, that was enough reason to quit.
I found a job a few days after quitting. Got a 10% pay raise + unlimited travel pass for the entire country + WFH/flex.
I miss my colleagues though :)
