> Is Going to the Office a Broken Way of Working? No, it is not. I recommend trying to understand "The F-Connection: Families, Friends, and Firms and the Organization of Exchange"[1]. Firms consist of humans. Humans need human connections. One frequently finds a new job due to a connection with a friend. And, while you don't have to love everyone you work with, one does develop (or used to develop) friendships at work. Or, on the way to work. Or, during lunch break. When everyone lives in their little pod and only connect with work over video conferencing, their very human connection to other people in their firm weakens. I understand this is appealing to people who are only familiar with living in a bedroom community, hopping on the company bus every morning where they stare at their laptop screens, go to the company campus and not interact with the outside world, and repeat the same trip in the other direction in the evening. Unfortunately for the rest of us, people who just want to live in their own pods seem to have the power to determine our destiny. sigh [1]: https://www.jstor.org/stable/1972655 https://www.jstor.org/stable/1972655
