How tf is asking what hours I’ll be working, if not listed in the application, not important? Can’t work if I don’t know when I’ll actually be working.
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.
Nope, here thanks to socialists half of bus pass is covered by employers (mandatory), some people have a car benefit fully paid even gas (but they pay contributions on that benefit), and companies can give tax free money for bikers and carpoolers, thanks to environmentalists.
But you are right, most of people does not have these benefits as it is not mandatory (except for bus pass)
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.

In fact looking again why are they even having to ask them questions? Most of these seem like things that should be on the listing anyway.
Yes. That makes the original listing a red flag. But sometimes you take a chance and go to the interview anyway.

Paying to go to work is wild
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.

And so your work pays for heating? Cooling? Internet? Power use for your laptop? Very impressive contract if so.
Even in medium cities it can be unclear, just lower priced. I paid 34/month to park in a lot they owned.
