I'm damn lucky in that my new job pays for my Metropass. I've never ever had a perk like that before. Their reasoning is that people who drive get a free parking spot in the underground garage, so those of us who commute should get a break too.
I've never considered taking a job anyplace that I couldn't reach by TTC or GO. It's just commonsense, ya know? What also amuses and frustrates me is when suburb-dwellers get competitive about who has the longest commute. "I live in Oshawa and I have to get up at 5:30 AM!" "Oh yeah, well *I* live in Cobourg and I have to get up at 5 AM!" And here I'm thinking that it was their own damn choice to live out in the sticks and work in Toronto.
I'm wondering why your co-workers don't leave their cars at a Park 'n Ride lot and take the TTC the rest of the way in to work.
