    parking is often not clear in larger cities where you’d have to pay for a spot in a garage. they may have spots, or you could be shelling out $200 a month like I had to.

      Even in medium cities it can be unclear, just lower priced. I paid 34/month to park in a lot they owned.

        Everyone does that. You aren’t paid for gas, bus passes, the food you use to bike. Every single person pays to go to work.

          My 100% Homeoffice employee contract says different. The moment I step outside my apartment to go to a rare meeting in the office or to a client’s site, I am clocking hours. Any reasonable (so no limo or heli shuttle) travel expense (gas+deterioration as well as parking if I were to use my own vehicle, tickets for public transport otherwise), I note down and hand in to the company at the end of the month so I get reimbursed fully.

          If you have to travel to do your work, it makes sense for the company to have to pay for it. On the flip side, companies might prefer hiring people living in more convenient, closer locations to their business than rural farmsteads. Which on the other hand makes sense as well, reducing time and energy waste, imo.

            And so your work pays for heating? Cooling? Internet? Power use for your laptop? Very impressive contract if so.
