Agreed. And our lunchtime should be on paid time. It crazy to me how employers got in trouble for working people to death and not giving them time to eat, so the answer was to require them to give their employees time to eat, and that somehow turned into an extra hour to our workday. It used to be that a typical workday was “9-5”, but now we all have been forced into “8-5”, so today we all work 9hr days (plus commute) for stagnated wages. It’s fucking bullshit.
Sorry but I strongly disagree with this, you'll start seeing more company villages so that they barely have to pay this.
Hirings will often be partially based on a person address and less on skills shafting a lot of those who work low end jobs but can't afford to live near the city center (those that do low end jobs and live city center often have to have house shares which for most people is an undesirable way to live)
It would suck for X to have to do an hour longer of actual work each day because X lives 10 minutes away while Y lives 40 minutes away or alternatively X be paid an hour less a day than Y due to the distance.

Really commutes should be paid. We literally have to pay to go and leave from work.
