    That means we’ll just stop hiring people who live far away, even in the person is willing to make the commute.

    No change from the status quo. As it stands, employees move next to their workplace because nobody is ok with a 4-hour commute. It’s impossible even if you give up on social life.

      I exaggerated to 4 hours to make a point. I’ve known many people who drove 2 hours per day. I also knew someone who drove 6 hours on Sunday night to work Monday morning, stayed locally during the week, then drove 6 hours home Friday night to spend 2 days at home.

      Some people put up with long commutes to live where they want to live.

          Pretty much. He was trying to avoid relocating. He did that for about 12-18 months, before the company lost steam in their whole “everyone needs to be in an office” bs.
