I’m a Supercommuter. Here’s What It’s Really Like.
(www.wsj.com)
From Cambridge Dictionary:
unnecessary actions or words that have little meaning and make something seem more important or complicated than it really is
I thought my commute was awful... this guy FLYs to work?... in a different state? what the hell, and stays in hotels?
I don't consider remote work always an option, but in his case, either remote, get a job in Ohio, or move to New York. That's just not reasonable, and kind of makes him seem like a douche.
Only way that should remotely be acceptable is if you are a traveling salesman, and even then, should be your home state, and maybe adjacent states that you drive around different areas over the course of a month or two.
