In my experience, people who chose larger living space over shorter commutes are very resentful about resuming their commute.
Meanwhile, those who live in shoeboxes need the external space to stay sane.
Don't underestimate the selfish reasons on either side.
- KnobbleMcKnees 3y agoI didn't realise "not wanting to travel for over an hour each day, unpaid" and "not wanting to go back to the confinement of a tiny home" were forms of selfishness. If only there were some sort of middle ground, eh?

Relatively few, if any firms have enforced mandatory remote work on people who don't want it. This is about employers ignoring the benefits of remote work while trying to grab that little bit of autonomy granted to their employees.
