Or would a layoff be more likely?

West Coast out; East Coast in. Tupac and Biggie all over again.
To answer the OPs question. They do not give a rats a$$
Less than 40mi here, not that they'll require me to relocate or go to the office. I did have a horrible commute for decades, so I feel your paid if you're in that boat.
Wow, I've been with the bank for almost 20 years, and I've never had a one-way commute that was longer than about 30 minutes. I can't imagine spending TWO HOURS driving to/from the office. If I were in a metro area, where I could, say, ride a train, I could use that time to be productive. But literally having to drive? NO.
People need to wake up and start considering quality of life before talking a job out on the coasts.
It's there in the benefit book, if the new workplace is more than certain distance (I think 40 miles?)from your residence or old workplace, you can opt to decline the new location and take severance.
I’ve never had less than a 2 hour round trip commute ever, and tack a parking lease on top of it.
In SF Bay Area, it take 2 1/2 hours each way to get to the office. Almost 5 hour commute every day to go 38 miles each way. And that's when the trains are on time! It sucks.
Scharf doesn't care. He loves it, because he's hoping people like me will quit. If you want to know why people hate this company, this is one of the many reasons why.
In many metro areas an hour each was is a very reasonable commute.
here in the SF bay area, an hour each way would be considered a short commute. that's what it takes me door to door on a good day.
Sheep, baaabaaaaa baaaa 🐑
many people routinely commute over an hour in major metro areas. As others have said, it's not time, it's miles, and it's whether there's a change forced by the company to assign you to a different location that is more than "X" miles away (look up in policy/HR)
There was some actual verbiage in the HR rules about changing a persons work location and by how many miles it was allowed before terminating/laying off. However, to be very clear it’s MILES not time. I believe it was changing the current commute by over 30 or 40 miles. Dig and you should be able to find. However, it’s the difference between being laid off or fired. Lay-off if over X miles fired if refuse to drive and under x miles. And Covid may we’ll change it
Two hours a day of commute time sounds like a lot to me.
Pretty sure it has nothing to do with time, it's mileage. And, an hour commute really isn't all that much.
