For the abolition of work. Yes really, abolish work! Not "reform work" but the destruction of work as a separate field of human activity.
To save the world, we're going to have to stop working! — David Graeber
A strange delusion possesses the working classes of the nations where capitalist civilization holds its sway. ...the love of work... Instead of opposing this mental aberration, the priests, the economists, and the moralists have cast a sacred halo over work. — Paul Lafargue
In communist society, where nobody has one exclusive sphere of activity but each can become accomplished in any branch he wishes, society regulates the general production and thus makes it possible for me to do one thing today and another tomorrow, to hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticise after dinner, just as I have a mind, without ever becoming hunter, fisherman, herdsman or critic. — Karl Marx
In the glorification of 'work', in the unwearied talk of the 'blessing of work', I see the same covert idea as in the praise of useful impersonal actions: that of fear of everything individual. — Friedrich Nietzsche
If hard work were such a wonderful thing, surely the rich would have kept it all to themselves. — Lane Kirkland
The bottom line is simple: all of us deserve to make the most of our potential as we see fit, to be the masters of our own destinies. Being forced to sell these things away to survive is tragic and humiliating. We don’t have to live like this. ― CrimethInc

wow lucky, i'm like 30 ft away, + another 50 if i go downstairs to get coffee first
My desk is like 8 inches from my bed...
From bed to desk, actually less than 1 meter (but I have to take the long way around as there's a wall in between them)
I just stay in bed til I feel like moving to the desk. So, uh like 2 seconds to grab my laptop n turn it on.
Either 36.1 or 50.1 km, between 1-1.5h, depending which route I have to take because of traffic. The shorter one goes through town, the longer one over a highway once around. Unfortunately I live on the opposite end of the city (used be just 10 min, until my company moved). I'm currently transitioning to a full WFH role though, should be finalised within the next 6 weeks.
20-30 minutes, the time is spent dodging cars that pull out without checking the bike lane.
30 minutes by bike or transit, but it's about to be a lot shorter due to an upcoming move.
I can work fully from home if I so wish, but I choose to go into the office as the perks are great and I like seeing people.
While commuting by bike, I listen to a lot of podcasts. While on transit I usually do a lot of Duolingo.
I'm unemployed right now but all my previous jobs have been within a couple miles and I would walk or every once in a while get rides with coworkers. Usually I listen to music on my phone outside of conversation. I'm looking for work currently that's either online or that can still function that way. I really hate to contribute to the petrochemical industry and I try to reduce it however I can. Anything beyond like 5 miles, I'd basically have to contribute. We don't have much of any public transport in the center of America and the little we do have seems to all run on gas anyway. In my specific area there's not even chargers for electric vehicles, not as far as I've seen. It's pretty whack, imo.
One place I work currently is 10 minutes away by bike, through a park. It's lush!
If I carpool, 25 minutes. If I take public transit 1.5 hours. If I ride a bike 1 hour. I usually carpool there and leave at 3 to take transit back. I tend to work on the bus.
Bout an hour.
Thankfully I only do it twice per week.
I listen to podcasts, audio books and music. It's often where I have space to think too.
Next year I'll be doing the drive a lot less often, which is good and bad for different reasons
I can walk across the street to my job.
Too bad it's just being a janitor at McDonald's.
35 miles. Takes about 45 minutes. Mostly listening to podcasts and preparing or decompressing. I don't mind the drive. No traffic and it's through the national forest. But I do hate buying gas.
30 minutes by bus, I mostly scroll on lemmy
15 mins on foot. I'm lucky to be in a city where you can get from pretty much any point to any point in 30 mins by bike, so relocation wouldn't be that painful, but as things stand, my office is about 1km away from me.
Most days I don't have a commute. Twice a week I cycle to the office for about an hour. No podcasts or anything, I just let my mind wander and reflect.
Hopefully starting a new job that's much closer soon but before that it was an hour
