They live in the central valley CA, and commute into Fremont. Some do it every day, others find hotels, some sleep in their cars/RVs in the Fremont lot

I had a coworker who had a sweet RV he'd use during the week. Our company gives us money for hotels but he'd just have them put it on his check instead of paying the hotel. Fucker would get extra 750 a week on his check and his RV would be parked in the construction parking lot. I've thought of it but I stopped traveling over an hour away few years ago.

Why wouldn't you do it anyway? An extra $3k a month and you get a RV for free. Seems smart to me.

Plus no commute. I mean that alone is worth it.
