Suppose there are two employees: Alice and Bob, who do the same job at the same factory. Alice has a 10 minute (20RT) commute, Bob commutes 35 minutes(70RT).

If you're the owner of the factory, would you compensate them for their commutes? How would you do it?

They have the choice of paying for the convenience of living close to work, or spending time commuting. That's not something an employer will or should care about.

Or the third option, changing to a better employer.

Since everyone seems to think no one wants to work anymore, maybe theres a lot more better options out than than the shitty employers realize.
