The business owners own the oil companies, the restaurants nearby, and the real estate companies, too.

It's as simple as that. They make money by charging their employees for transportation and for the other things in-office employees have to spend money on.

    I cycle to work and never get lunch from the restaurants nearby. Can I WFH then?

    I did quit my last job a few days after they required me to do a multi hour train commute on a regular basis. Fuck that. If I can't walk/ride I don't want it. I do feel a little bad for the dev who is still there, I was the only one keeping a wave of stupid 1st line questions going his way each day.

    Oh well, new job pays more and I can cycle to work easily. Better work environment too.

    I ditched my shitty corporate gig for a much nicer one a couple miles from home, better benefits too. I don't usually work from home, but they will let me if the need arises. These in person demanding corpo clowns insisting people take horrible commutes can fuck allll the way off.
