I hate this idea that anyone is “forcing” anyone to do anything. And I see the word used so often in the remote work conversations.
It’s like saying that Tesla “forces” people to work on electric cars. It’s what their business is!
You’re not being forced to commute if your job is in-office anymore than you’re forced to eat canned asparagus if it’s the only vegetable in your cupboard. You can choose to not eat it or you can go to the store and buy something else.
It doesn’t matter if you work better at home if your company is in office. And it doesn’t matter if it’s a job where being in office makes no difference. You either go to the office or look for a new job.

- paulcole 4y agoI’m not sure if you’re saying that I believe you have to be happy with 100% of your job or you have to find a new one? Because I definitely don’t: > You either go to the office or look for a new job. In case it’s not clear from that, I agree with you. There’s parts of every job that suck. You just have to choose whether the benefits outweighs those sucky parts.
- shard 4y agoYes. There are many reasons why someone would work at a job that doesn't make them happy, chief amongst those is supporting their family as best they can. Along those lines, I've had a coworker tell me: "Don't get good at doing something you hate."
