My SO was told to travel to office every day of the week, only to sit in zoom meetings because all of their team is elsewhere.

Reaaaal good use of everyone’s time and our non-renewable resources.

Don't forget that it's also effectively a pay cut due to the added expenses and time lost in commuting. They should ask if the company is going to at least pay for the maintenance of the car if they aren't going to pay for the time spent commuting.

Paying for commute time for regular workers is not going to happen, for many many decades you getting to work is your own issue...thus why we find a place near highway access or near transit. asking a company to pay travel means they will just hire somebody that lives close by

Which will no longer be feasible as more and more people are priced out of city living.

It has already happened in Vancouver area, people commute in from Chilliwack to afford a home
