<prompt> Human: For context: I hate being the person who asks for extra when I feel like Im not in a special circumstance perhaps an inherent issue of personal value judgement, but still. I also know that my peers at work face long commutes as well, so why me and not them? 1 I couldnt afford to take multiple busses fixed rate pass expired yesterday and still buy lunch. Chose to eat and take PTO but still contribute at least somewhat.. 2 Paid every Thursday at fixed salary for tech recruiting job 485 a week, minus fed tax, no state tax, medical buy in of 50ish, 50 extra withholding 3 Im not sure anyone else isnt compensated, dont have employee handbook in front of me. I dont have a car so Im forced to do a 1:20 commute via bus; OR 22 ride share one way. Ride share is my choice, dont feel entitled there  <response>: Find a better paying job or at least a similarly paying job near your home. If youre deciding between multiple bus passes and eating, the job isnt paying above minimum wage.
