The "employers" who want to fire you as soon as you don't want to spend extra unpaid time commuting are probably not the employers you wanted to work for anyway.
I prefer to also focus on not doing soul destroying work, working with good collaborators, and earning enough to enjoy the rest of my waking hours. That narrows the employment pool down a lot.
If you're skilled enough and have options and a network, it can even be more prudent to sit out the employment market and contract for a while until a good role comes along.
