People who drive for work have around 50% more crashes than people who don’t.

There’s plenty of housing near jobs. The problem is that the housing that’s near the job is expensive AF

There are definitely advantages to carpooling over driving alone - you get the benefits of public transportation (not spending money on gas, not having to focus on the actual drive and instead being able to focus on whatever you want), plus a few others (if you must make conversation, at least these are people you…

Around 86% of Americans workers commute to and from work via their own car, but research shows that people tend to be happier with their daily trip to the office if they walk, take a bicycle, or ride a train.

On the one hand, yes.

Well taking traffic into account doesn’t really work.  In many or most big cities you have near constant pretty bad to bad traffic from about 5 or 6am to 8 or 9pm all week long, you can’t really do anything about it.

I just watched this documentary by Natasha Lyonne about using the subway as a time machine, which I also think  is incorrect & does not help get you to work on time 

Unless you’re on the clock (aka being paid) during your commute, don’t do work. Use it as a transition from home to work or work to home. Time to shift mental gears.

Commutes stress people out, and work done under stress tends to be shoddy. Any small benefit that a company could gain from a grey-collar worker responding to emails on the bus is likely to be overshadowed by the overall drop in productivity correlated with commuting.

Those are two separate issues. If you’re working someone to exhaustion, throwing a pizza party shows a lack of understanding with what your employees really need. But you shouldn’t be riding a team that hard indefinitely anyway.

I will say as a salaried employee even if I am drowning in work if there is free pizza I can take 10 minutes to grab a slice, say hi to my coworkers and thank the people who organized it. I gotta eat too.

Wow, a lot of bummers in the comments here. What the heck is wrong with a pizza party? I’ve never worked in an office where people felt pressured to be there. It has usually been “hey, there’s pizza in the break room, come and get it if you want some”.

Ugh I’ll probably get flamed for this but apparently I am feeling like living the dangerous life today...

I love it when the pizza party is on the clock, as i am getting paid my regular wage to sit and eat some pizza. Raises are always appreciated (but are usually too small to be meaningful), but getting paid to not work is nice too.  

WTF are you talking about? Buying a couple pizzas or a bucket of chicken for my coworkers when they’ve been doing a good job or had a hard week hardly qualifies as “treating work as a social mixer.” Sorry that you feel so put-upon that you can’t bother eating a damn slice of pizza with a coworker. Crawl back to your…

People like you lead miserable work lives because you hate your job. See how that works? And it’s not pretentious at all; I’m simply awarding good work ethic with a simple pizza or two...I’m not handing out keys to fucking Ferraris or something.

Eh, am I the only one who actually enjoys getting free pizza at work? Sure, a raise would be better, but remember the people buying you fun food also probably have zero control over your pay, so maybe chill the Hell out a bit.

Honestly, with the exception of the last couple, those prices seem pretty damn reasonable. I’m not big on public proposals, but if your partner is a sports fan who loves being the center attention and you’re very, very sure they’ll say yes it could be money well spent.

This is shockingly cheaper than I would have expected.

Ever since I took a night job, my three-ingredient happy hour has been a venti Pike Place, a battery can of Monster, and a chili dog.

I have not considered putting them into the same cup, but give it time, give it time.
