If someone wants me to ever go back to an office, I’m going to need the following, at minimum.
1) ALL my co-workers are in that office when I am. There’s no point in going to a place if the rest of the team isn’t there.
2) Compensate me 100% for all commuting related expenses.
3) A very short commute by bicycle or subway. A short walk would be even better.
4) My own private office. With a door. A fancy door with with my name on it. The kind that detectives used to have in old movies.
5) Even when I’m not working, I am free to use the office as an extension of my personal living space for convenience.
6) Secure bicycle parking/storage.
7) Showers.
8) I am only required to work at most 4 days per week. No more than 32 hours total.
9) Lastly, pay me more than any remote job is offering.
- adamhp 4y agoI think this might do it for me too. Although sub-bullet, (1a) coworkers must be enjoyable to work with.

I know you may kid with the tail end of that but this is a key thing for engineers for focus time. Open office floor plans are the opposite of what is needed. Reference is PeopleWare by DeMarco & Lister.
