That's great that you get something out of being in the office. I really wish the powers that be would put some data to this. You and I are complete opposites; paying exhorbitant rent, transportation, and living costs usurped much of the enjoyment I could get out of going to an office. I build infra products and in an office setting I usually get a lot of interrupts because product folks generally lack some amount of knowledge/background to fill in gaps on how to use products like mine. When I'm remote they have to follow a support queue, read docs, learn more about infra basics, and attend talks on infra. When I'm in person they can just stop by my desk. My hypothesis is that folks who like going into an office generally fall into a couple categories: - people who get/enjoy a substantial amount of social interaction out of work and work adjacent activities - people who work on public facing products who don't have many internal customers - people with disruptive home environments The thing that upsets me is that we're being treated the same and that most of this is to save face for their real estate investment. Not to mention all the half-truths/gaslighting about the universalness of productivity.
