    When I interviewed at a company some years ago, the commute would have been ~an hour on a normal day (potentially longer if I did park-n-ride). I was very forward about wanting to only come into the office once or maybe twice a week. The manager I was talking with brushed off my commute time by basically saying that the commute wasn’t that long and he knew others that commuted much longer. That was a huge red flag for me and I did not proceed with them. I don’t care what others will tolerate. If management is going to ignore concerns like that, I don’t want to work there. It was really apparent that he wouldn’t let me work from home more than maybe once a week if I was lucky.
