> I know that "the office" is a bad place for a lot of people. There's certainly a number of us where 'work from office' (WFO) really means share a vast open plan area with people and all their annoying habits. That's why I don't want to go back. And that's why others don't want to go back. I believe the whole "I'm an introvert" thing to be mostly false for a lot of people for the reason above. I don't mind socialising at lunch time, or in the office kitchen. But I'm paid to work, and work is code, and code is thinking. Thinking is done silently and without distraction. But if employers want me in the office. Give me an actual office. Where I can close the door and don't have to listen to someone eating at their desk, or some other annoying personal tic.
