so today I finally made myself be assertive but I feel like a jerk. So I am currently driving over an hour to work and I am the only employee of my department. I gave my boss two options, give me a pay raise since I am the only one there and I am hemorrhaging money with gas, or transfer me to the office closer to where I live. I like my job but I need to consider my finances. I felt like such a jerk. Was I wrong for bringing this up?

"feeling like a jerk" is a natural side effect of becoming a more confident, self-assured person. and i hope your work environment isn't actively discouraging you from talking about a very pertient and valid issue. you were right to bring up the issue, and i hope you continue to see growth in this area.

You're absolutely fine and reasonable don't worry

Until gas is like $2.50/gallon, it’s not unreasonable at all. But if it’s a full time job, ya still gotta tread lightly. Not very many bosses are accommodating

Congrats on putting your needs first and setting a boundary with your workplace!
Yes as long as you did it respectfully. There is no reason why you can't communicate those things.
Nope I think those are reasonable. You did great.

Totally reasonable request, assuming you communicated it respectfully.
