[+] foofiepie@lemmy.world -11 points 10 months ago (5 children) Mate I’ve done jobs that have had a 1.5hr commute before. What are you talking about? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 10 child comments replies: [–] Rothe@piefed.social 14 points 10 months ago (1 child) That is your prerogative, but it is not a wise one. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] foofiepie@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago I understand, but if you have to put food on the table, then that’s what you have to do. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago (1 child) Congrats, but did you know that other people have problems that you don't? And that just because you can do something doesn't mean others can do it too? We all have our problems in life, and you overcoming yours is meaningless to other people overcoming theirs. But good job volunteering that your time is so worthless you're willing to waste 3 hours of it on a commute. The only time I've ever driven more than 45 min for a job was to a client site, and I was getting paid and the commute was part of my 8hrs. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] foofiepie@lemmy.world 1 point 10 months ago The person I replied to was implying they can’t commute longer than 30 mins because they have kids. In a thread about finding jobs. There’s a shedload of people including me for whom narrowing their job prospects down to only jobs within 30mins commute would be wishful thinking, and borderline ridiculous. My ‘mate what are you talking about’ was based on my perspective yes, but there’s large swathes of people who would laugh at your privilege. Nice for you I suppose. And nice of you to be so self-righteously hostile too. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 7 points 10 months ago (1 child) Clearly he's talking about the constraints that kids put on his time. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] foofiepie@lemmy.world -5 points 10 months ago I also have kids. permalink fedilink source parent [–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago Seems more practical to me to just sleep at the office. permalink fedilink source parent [–] NKBTN@feddit.uk 2 points 10 months ago* (1 child) Kids have to get to and from school permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] foofiepie@lemmy.world 1 point 10 months ago (1 child) Oh fair enough if you’re ferrying them.
