A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

If the company is paying me for my commute, I’m on the clock, which means they can reasonably ask me to do things like not listen to my podcasts or take specific routes. If I’m on public transport, they can reasonably ask me to do work because I’m being paid.

You do work: you commute.

If the company wants you to do some other kind of work in that time, they can offer an office space in your car or public transport... or have you stay at your home office, it's up to them.
