Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Why mention cycling?
In that case it would be "drive one hour or cycle 4"
Do you mean to suggest the company should hire folks who live closer, period? That is more logical
The operative task is minimize commute.
In most cases a car would be the fastest commute, even if you live close. (Assuming a non hyper dense urban environment)
In my country, cycling is incentivized. I get paid for cycling to work.
Besides that, commute time isn't that much different by bike than by car in my case.
All well and fine, but they compared apples to oranges, by moving variables
I was comparing two different, but very reasonable scenarios where two employees pay would be hugely different for a very silly reason. It's not apples and oranges.
An actual comparison was simple.
"Imagine one employee lives an hour away, and one lives 20 minutes away"
You're arguing about semantics, it doesn't change the point that I was trying to make.
That or go remote if there's no productive reason why they need to be in the office and then just don't have to pay for a non-existent commute
It's actually kinda genius from the perspective of getting unneeded commuters off the road, because like hell are those middle managers willing to pay commute time just to be able to more effectively ride your shoulder at the office
For me it is:
You seem to assume that I was implying that the two people in the scenario live an equal distance from the work place.
My scenario implies that the cyclist might live less than ten miles from work and that the driver lives a multiple of that away and ridicules the idea of financially rewarding someone for living further away from the workplace in terms of distance, time and carbon footprint.
I didn't assume anything I took issue with moving variables from the outset.
Differing the range of travel in a question about the duration of travel is insanity. Then layering on a change of the mode of travel too....
