I want to come into the office. It's nice to get to know coworkers better. And I like the commute and the routine.
But it sucks.
There aren't enough meeting rooms for all the meetings. When I do get a meeting room, I have to wait for the last meeting to wrap up. Or I find out that the camera doesn't work. Or the lighting is off. And it's harder to tell who's talking. And messages in the meeting are truncated on the meeting room screen, so there's kinda a private side channel where only remote workers can participate effectively.
Our office is open plan, so I can hear people on other teams talking and I can't focus as well.
Sometimes the badge readers break and aren't fixed until the next day.
Sometimes there are evacuations.
The mail room is only open 11am-1pm, so if I have lots of meetings I have to wait another 24 hours to get my important parcel.
If they want me to come into the office, they really should make it more productive than working from home.
