A VP told me that if I don't like our new WFH policy that I should find another firm.

Maybe I should, that's okay, but the fact that his response to my concern (2.5 hour commute both ways, not what I agreed to when I was hired) was just "find another firm" really rubs me the wrong way.

That’s heartless. How can they require people to travel 2.5hours each day?

At my previous Fortune 50 employer, the commute was included in our workday. Not sure if that’s because we’re a tech company but it was the most generous benefit ever.

I didn't even know there were companies that included your commute as part of your workday, that's amazing
