Salesforce employees read: Update your address to a 41 mile away address. (Not legal advice)

I myself am not a Salesforce employee but was just curious enough to look up the distance between my home address (Sunnyvale) and the Salesforce tower in downtown SF - just a lil bit out of the requirements (43 miles), it’s about an hr and half driving in rush hours…

There are offices all over the bay, e.g. Palo Alto has one

Not much consolation to the folks in Antioch/Brentwood. That's a brutal 2hr drive in rush hour, and nearly the same via BART.

It would take only about 1hr and some change if you used a bike + Caltrain Baby Bullet (if you live close enough to a station). About 40-45m of that would be spent chilling on the train

Though it looks like the Baby Bullets aren’t stopping in Sunnyvale currently which is a damn shame

Baby bullets have never stopped in Sunnyvale.

I’ll take your word for it, I used to do this commute from a different city on the peninsula and at the time I seemed to recall Baby Bullet stopping in Sunnyvale, but I am not certain. I know things have changed a lot due to the construction and such.

Regardless, depending on where you are in Sunnyvale it may not be too bad hard to catch the Mountain View baby bullet

The baby bullets haven’t stopped at Sunnyvale or Lawrence in at least the last 5 years, so best you can do is 1-1:10hr on train. But if you are willing to bike to Mountain View you can trade that time for exercise.
