The only reason I own a car is to get to work. Otherwise I’d use public transport and delivery services all the time.

Therefore, 90% of the time I use my car is in service of my job. Getting to the office and coming home from the office. Therefore my commute is entirely based on the fact that I’m going to or from work. Otherwise I wouldn’t be using the car, sitting in traffic.

So yeah, it’s 100% ‘on the clock’ time, even if they want to somehow argue it isn’t. Even if I wanted a car for things like grocery shopping or getting elsewhere in the city, the time spent in traffic going to or from work, and the wear and tear on the vehicle during that time is because of my job. Therefore my job should pay for my time and the vehicle maintenance. Period.

I'm not paid well at my current job but it's also close and I can walk/bike.

I'm looking at jobs that pay me a lot more and it's not worth it since I have to buy, license, and maintain a car then on top of that I'm driving into work, which blows.
