    Oh, I read your thing backwards then.

    I can’t imagine wanting to go into the office on the regular. The commute. The lost time (can math out to like a 20% pay cut, if you spend two hours a day traveling + getting ready). The sickness. The lack of control over environment (temperature, sound).

    Can’t relate to it. And I’m a very social person that likes interacting with people.

      I live 15 minutes from work. If I got out of bed early enough I could easily bike there (and have done so).

      Really the only thing I miss from work from home is the ability to take a short break once per hour to do some bodyweight exercises or kettbell swings during lunch.

      But on the flipside, it’s hard for me to stay concentrated while at home. I personally get way more work done in the office.

        While I believe that is true for you, I don’t believe it justifies the lost time, health, and environmental damage of mandating in-office for everyone.

        The office is super distracting for many people.

          mandating in-office for everyone.

          I’m not suggesting it should be mandatory for everyone. Just pointing that the office is preferable for some
