So to be fair, I don't think that's entirely the issue. A large part of the dislike that many people have for mandatory RTO is the corresponding commute.

When I lived in Taiwan, I looked forward to the essentially "free exercise" that I got as part of the 2 mile bike ride into the office.
However, a lot of people's living situation simply doesn't allow for the opportunity to walk/jog/bike to one's workplace - especially if you live in the US. Having to deal with rush hour traffic, manic drivers, gridlock day in and day out is soul crushingly awful.
- solardev 2y agoI just meant that the popular discussion about this stuff never really includes workers who WANT to go back to the office. It's usually painted as a matter of managers/execs (who want RTO) vs workers (who don't), and people like me are the outliers. That's fine; we're why coworking spaces exist... But yeah, hellish commutes are definitely a part of it, especially in the Bay Area. I'd never want to force that on anyone. Having an office (or even just sharing a coworking space sometimes) is nice, but only when it's not a requirement.
