I respect this woman immensely, but it's not her bosses fault she lives so far away. From watching this video I got the impression that she used to live in LA county and chose to move very far away to get her kids away from a crime ridden neighborhood. She had to move so far because the nice areas in LA county are too expensive. At the end of the day she still need to be on time, because if she isn't her work will be put on a coworker. I think she manages to be on time judging by the video.

I'm assuming that when she applied for the job, they know where she lives, and then understand the effort that goes into commuting.

I hope her kids really appreciate the sacrifice that she has made for them. I pray that they never disrespect her.

@alaric If you look at economic results for the past 25+ years (since the Reagan era at least, but also before) you'll see that decreased taxes and regulation do not in fact help people like this woman. What WOULD help her is higher-density housing (which increases available units and keeps prices from spiraling); increased community/school spending (so a person doesn't have to travel 100 miles to find a decent school for their kids); and more affordable healthcare (because too many people have to sacrifice a huge portion of their income to healthcare costs in one way or another). I'm not making this up - just about every economist on both sides of the left/right divide will tell you there is good data for this.

My parent's owned a home in East Oakland with five kids and a grandson by the time I came along. My dad worked as a custodian and sold used cars. My mom worked as a housekeeper and part-time lunch lady. She went back to school at 48 to become a nurse. She would work 3 jobs, all taking the bus. Was never late or missed a day. She never missed a school program or bake sale donation. I grew up leaving her notes as to what I was doing and checking with my sisters. Awesome.

Fourthgirl that's amazing 😊 My mom often worked 3-4 jobs to make sure my siblings and I had all we needed. Now she's a grandma, all her children are grown and she still works 2 jobs. But this time, not because she has to, it's now her nature. But she does SPOIL her grandchildren 😁

She’s now retired. She did it 🔥

For everyone saying this woman shouldn't have to do this commute- She says she *enjoys* her time on the train, gives her time to relax. And I get that since I used to commute into NYC every day from NJ. Coffee/bagel, catch up on reading...and the night return trip: just chill. But it's not for everyone.

Finally a comment with someone who has sense. I'm reading people say oh it's a shame she has to do this, why do we live in a world that this stuff has to happen, blah blah blah. This is a choice that she made, especially if you listen to her speak in her own words. I commend her. I don't know how she does it. Four and a half hours sleep is very unhealthy. People have to think, what about police officers and doctors who keep houre like this. My personal opinion is I think six hours of the commute is ridiculous. I was wondering if it was 3 hours there and 3 hours.

Anyone who struggles through this must really love California or NYC. Fyi, it's a big world out there with other places to live.
