But employers do mandate where you live by not allowing you to live in their office. Therefore commuting is not a choice it’s a requirement. Even if you live across the road you still need to spend time going to work and back.
- nixgeek 4y agoTwitter actually tried to provide accommodations in their offices recently and ran into issues because of zoning and permitting. Some occupations (i.e. firefighters, doctors) do have short-term accommodation on the premises. It's complicated and may not be entirely down to decisions by the employer is my overall point. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/dec/07/twitter-san-francisco-investigating-offices-converted-bedrooms https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/dec/07/twitter-s...
- WWLink 4y agoIt is not complicated at all, if you do it during the construction stage. The thing is, you can't just randomly turn office suites into bedrooms like that. Commercial buildings have different structural integrity, plumbing requirements, accessibility requirements, fire defense requirements, and so on compared to residential housing. A space that might be deemed safe to have 100 people working inside of, may not be deemed safe to have 10 people sleeping inside of for those reasons.
