I usually just lurk and I'm on mobile, so please forgive any weird formatting. This is more of a vent than anything.
My current job has a huge event that's setting up in their parking lot, so us mooks and other such little guys are being forced to park about 10 minutes' drive away and get shuttled in/out of work. To “compensate”, our oh so generous company has bestowed upon us an extra 30 minutes to each day that we can't just park in the lot. 15 minutes one way, 15 minutes back.
Trouble is, it takes a good 45 minutes at the end of my day just to get back to my car, and then I drive another 10 minutes home. Just getting to work normally takes me about 10 minutes anyway, and now I need to account for an inconsistent shuttle that might or might not get me to work on time. It's even worse getting back after my shift, and by that point I've now wasted over an hour of my day because the one parking lot that isn't taken over with tents is for “VIP” parking. I'm one of the lucky ones, too, in that I live so close. Some of my coworkers already commute 30-45 minutes without all this mess.
All of this is only going to be exacerbated once the event actually starts, because we're going to have to share these shuttles with guests.
But thanks for the six whole extra dollars for the trouble, I guess
