    Well what I’m trying to tell you is that there are probably more people than you realise who want to be in the office. My partner, and a bunch of my coworkers, hated being forced to work from home during the pandemic. So maybe that’s part of the reason.

      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.
