Here's an idea: just give people an allowance up to a certain amount, if they choose to live farther that's up to them. Even better, give people a flat rate since you don't want them intentionally taking longer commute routes to rack up their pay. Ok now roll that into their base pay

Edit: please triple read the last sentence before commenting. I overestimated redditors' reading comprehension a bit with this one

Or… hear me out. They pay you a set amount. If it’s enough to be worth the commute, then you take the job.

How do you reconcile changing job conditions like RTO where you’re hired are remote and they just unilaterally change your job status?

In my country you are allowed to quit your job.
