I would actually disagree a bit about the office part. It's quite expensive. > Some people may have no life outside work, but I assume they are the minority - seems ridiculous to subject us all to a degraded quality of life because a few people don't know what to do with themselves. Weird take to be honest. As I said, you spent a significant amount of time at work/working. My take is, that this should also be with people you like and in an environment where your needs can be met. Be it "I don't wanna talk to anybody" or "I wanna be in the office every day". Fun fact: at my location we all do both, depending on how we feel, how our evening plans look like etc.
