You are speaking about your personal experience. You never wanted to work remotely, you never prepared for it and as a result it has been a traumatic experience for you. On the other hand there is people out there, like me, that have been improving and refining remote working skills from decades. When I traveled to former Soviet Republics it shocked me how helpless old people felt doing the most basic things. As young people they were trained to delegate everything on the State. The State did a very bad job almost at everything but there was no alternative, so they never developed the skills . When they were old,it is difficult to learn anything new and they had not the necessary skills to survive on their own and were nostalgic about communism. That made me realize that most schools and Universities and jobs just train you to obey orders and do not leave space for resourcefulness and independence.
