Interesting. Where I work we have field techs as well but I guess it’s a little different. Everyone’s issued their own truck, the truck just lives at the office. So you’d drive to the office, pick up your truck, and then start earning windshield time. In any case, I do wonder what it’d look like for like a retail worker or something.
I mean if I was a miner and instead of working in the mines I could just drive for 8 hours that sounds a little more doable. In any case, what if I just get a job somewhere and then move? As much as people on lemmy hate driving I’m sure there’s someone out there who likes it.
In theory that sounds good but I don’t really get how it’d work. I mean what if you just lived four hours away so your commute there and back was just your eight hours? That’s obviously ridiculous so what’s the cut off? Like an hour? How does that affect breaks and lunch if you do live an hour away so you’re only working six hours? Or is it just like a premium pay, like you earn 10% of your salary on your way in?
I wonder if any company actually does this.
You ever have issues with sites not accepting your email? I tried to claim some free games on epic, made an account with my email provider (not Gmail), but I would keep getting errors saying some shit like please enter a real address or something. I don’t have issues with every site but it’s a pain when it doesn’t work.
