2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.


Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

So because they have high salaries they need to work in an office? I'm not seeing how that's related.

Your comment is not related. This is an irrelevant take away. This comment is a thread from:

"I can only imagine the hellish commute a NYT tech worker must endure. Let them work from wherever the fuck they want."

No one is talking about salary. It's about the realty that subway (not to mention citi bike and the occasional uber) are easy ways to get around and not "hellish."

You want to know how long my commute is each morning? It's 30 seconds. Working remotely will do that for you. Anything else in comparison would feel hellish, yes, and I even used to commute to a job that was 15 minutes away from where I live as my first dev job.

I am high salary work from home as well. I get it. But you did not respond to a thread about commute time. You responded about salary.
