In Austria (and Germany too it think) the further away you drive to work, the more money the government gives you for fuel in your tax return. But WFH? No, that's not possible, we don't do that here, so every morning the highways are full of people subsidized by the state to spend their day in an office doing what they can do from home.
- cipher_system 2y agoI work with some germans and they work from home all the time. On the plus side, the tax return of work commute by car increases labour supply and enables people to live further from the high density areas, not everyone can wfh. With electric vehicles, maybe they are good enough even from an environmental perspective.

Most is hybrid. >On the plus side, the tax return of work commute by car increases labour supply and enables people to live further from the high density areas, not everyone can wfh. Yeah of course, the issue is when you can WFH but employers would rather you burn fuel to get to the office and the state supports that waste while taking about how climate friendly they are. Well if the state would be climate friendly wouldn't they support WFH?
