Yes, please ask me to effectively take a pay cut to pay to drive across town so I can sit at a non-customizable hot desk to join virtual meetings with resources all over the globe. But it’s ok because in return I get to be interrupted constantly by people physically bothering me with a question in the name of “collaboration” instead of opening a ticket or sending an email like a normal person. Genius. I can’t understand why everyone’s complaining. (/s in case it wasn’t obvious).

Also I have to pay for parking and lunch

Is this really the norm in the USA? In the Netherlands most office lots have free designated parking and virtually everyome brings their own lunch.

My white-collar arse has never had to pay for parking while at work. But it probably depends a bit on occupation and location.

Everywhere I've worked has had free parking, but when I interviewed at Amazon I noticed they didn't.
