Not that different from the commute that Apple employees I knew were making. They spent 30 minutes commuting to where they would pick up the shuttle, three or so hours on the shuttle, get off the shuttle and have lunch at Caffe Macs, maybe take a meeting, then get back on the shuttle for their ride home.
The shuttles had Wi-Fi, so they could get all their regular work done while on the shuttle. That was functionally their office, even though they had a desk in the building on Bubb Road.
And they were getting paid well over $150k, and living in group homes east of San Jose, because that’s all they could afford to live in.

Baffling to me hearing about Americans in SV who can't afford to live on their own on over $150k, that would easily be a top 1% salary in the european city I live in
