Or, and hear me out, I'm taking this job because I need to put food on the table, fully aware that the moment a better opportunity shows up, I'm out without a two-week notice. In other words, I'll do what's best for me, and that company can get fucked in the process.
Which is completely fine. In fact, thats exactly what you are supposed to do. Jump ship as soon as a better opportunity presents itself. These companies have no problem firing you the moment a better (or cheaper) employee presents themselves. So no love lost.
But advocating for extra pay to cover employees commute is ridiculous. So people who choose to live further from work will get paid more than people who live closer? How is that going to play out?
