    It’s sad to say, but there are people that work at Amazon (IC’s, not even senior or middle management) that commute by plane.

    They were hired on the basis that being 100’s of miles away wasn’t a problem, and were then told to commute to their nearest office 3x a week (now 5x). For many, spending their money on a commute is preferable to being unemployed, so some employees spend 3+ hours a day commuting, or fly in and get a taxi/train to the office.

    It’s obviously not to this level, but RTO initiatives make people do stupid shit in order to stay employed…
