"without ANY compensation"
They may be no monetary compensation, but, depending on how long the commute is, there can be a significant gain in personal hours and a big reduction in travel costs.
For example, I know people who will gain three hours a day and not have to spend £3,000 (out of taxed income) on train tickets + more for not having to pay for parking at the station.
Sure, there will be extra energy costs, but the savings above are about twice my annual enery bills.
