When I accepted my job, gas was around $2.00. I’m making 50k in the city and can’t afford it without my parents help anymore. Obviously it isn’t just gas that’s contributing to it but it does affect everything. Companies are not required to pay out but shouldn’t we pressure them? I went to my boss yesterday and told him if he could give me a little bit of commute money it would be so helpful considering half the office is allowed to wfh. He said that the company was really traditional and wouldn’t normally do that but he would ask for me. Haven’t heard back.
What’s your thoughts? How do we come up with a solution.
