blaise rascal posted:I know this is from a page or two back but that person who thinks driving time counts as work time should probably give up that theory lol, how does the boot taste? but srsly, to be clear : if you work 8 hrs for x dollars/hr., and it takes you an hour to get there and an hour to get home, you have spent 10 hrs. in the pursuit of work and should multiply 8 by x dollars and then divide it by 10 to understand your actual compensation for your time. i'm not implying that one should request extra compensation for their commute time, just saying that I certainly wouldn't be on a bus at 7am on a Wednesday, for instance, for any reason other than work. also, I didn't ask for any advice on the topic and don't appreciate the tone of your comment, comrade. What I asked was if anyone else counted their commute time as work. |

And these things aren’t always obvious; for instance, if you get in an accident because of an inattentive Pizza Hut driver delivering pizzas, you can sue Pizza Hut, but if you get in an accident due to that same driver commuting to the restaurant in the morning, Pizza Hut itself is not usually liable for any damages, and you can only sue the driver. My point being that there are usually pretty clear lines of demarcation for this kind of stuff, at least in America, and commuting costs (including time) tend to fall outside the scope of employment. Certainly if you have a long or difficult commute then that should factor that into how much you value a job. I don’t see how anyone could argue with that

For salary calculations yes include it in your mental math. As already stated it's very dangerous to treat it as such beyond valuing your free time. I do an hour commute and it wears on you. A subscription to Audible makes the drive better and can feel like free time when you are in the middle of a good book. If you can take public transportation it can help, as you can view train time as free time assuming you bring a game console or laptop. Bonus if you can convince work to have you work remote at the time and actually count it as work hours. |

blaise rascal posted:Appreciate my tone or don’t, but I have known someone get into trouble for misrepresenting his working hours, and it wasn’t pretty. I don’t see why it’s so bad for me to try to help prevent someone else from making the same mistake. All right, but I didn't say anything about asking for extra compensation for the commute. As this was your concern, I wish you had explained it in your first post. The vagueness of your response left the door open to interpretation, while your off-hand manner came off as aloof and condescending in my opinion. So that's why I didn't like your tone: it seemed to me you were just saying, "no this is dumb and you are dumb" and did not feel chill, to me. Thank you for elaborating on what your concerns were, I totally see what you meant now. quote:Certainly if you have a long or difficult commute then that should factor that into how much you value a job.

So that's why I didn't like your tone: it seemed to me you were just saying, "no this is dumb and you are dumb" and did not feel chill, to me. Thank you for elaborating on what your concerns were, I totally see what you meant now. Hello, I am glad this discussion reached an amiable understanding of previously misunderstood subject matters, and I hope that by sharing my own idiosyncratic work experience, I am not reigniting any unhappiness. Anyway, so for the past three years, I have been an ESL teacher in Chile. Most of the time, I have worked on site, which means I take the subway or buses or sometimes walk around Santiago to go to people's homes and offices to teach English. Now once you get to someone's home or office, it is pretty chill, because we can drink Fanta and talk about Star Wars, which is what people do in Chile. But the process of getting there is pretty tough. For my first two years, I was paid transit, although at a reduced rate (basically they paid a reduced rate and vastly underestimated the time, so like an hour long commute was called 25 minutes. But basically it all added up at the end of the month. Sometimes the transit was meaningful, like when it was on the other end of the city. The thing about this is, that in our situation, we certainly count transit time as work time, even when we aren't paid for it, because its a sizable portion of the work. The job works in such a way that a 90 minute class might have an hour of commuting on either side of it. This also explains why the job doesn't look as good as it does on paper. I mean, I got paid, for a while, 20 dollars an hour to go to people's homes and hang out. Two 90 minute classes a day meant that I could work 3 hours a day and make 60 dollars a day. Pretty easy, right? The thing about that is, if you have a 1 PM class and a 7:30 PM class, in different parts of the city, you are leaving home at noon, getting home at 3:30, then eating lunch, and heading out at 6:30, and getting home at 10:00. It might not seem like it to an outsider, but that still calculates out to a 10 hour chunk of time that can't be used for other things, and so that 60 hours is not as much as it seems. (And don't even get me started on times when there is a 7:30 AM and 7:30 PM class in one day: a 14 hour time commitment with two rush hour commutes, for the wages of three hours. And this, and reasons like this, is why I am thinking I won't be working here for another year, unless I can really be a whiny primadonna and avoid these situations. ANYWAY, also, relevant to the discussion, what counts as work varies depending on the situation, and some people are going to describe things differently in terms of labor law and practical terms, and its going to be mystifying to others.
