I haven't worked at an office in the past 10+ years, but I can recall the 2-hour lunches, the hour-long meetings, which finished in 20 minutes, and the next 40 minutes getting spent in non-company related chat as you have a solid proof on your calendar that you did work, indeed. I won't work at an office anymore, even if I get paid less for working remotely (although I've always made mode working remotely than working in Orange County, CA where I live), because it's just better, and I'm more productive. Even when I worked close to home, I still wasted an hour in commute and parking, and maybe another hour getting ready for work, etc. Not to mention all the risks associated with the commute, the respiratory diseases we keep catching from sick people who don't stay home and prefer to cough and sneeze in the faces of their coworkers just to show off as the world's greatest workaholics.
