Different strokes for different folks at different stages in their lives. If I wrote OP's post 7 years ago before WFH, I'd have said: "on my death bed I'm going to realize I spent my life driving 2.5 hours each way to an office to type into a machine and to maintain physical proximity to people I don't really like or dislike. It's just so gruesomely UNNECESSARY."
- drchickensalad 5mo agoOk let's be honest 2.5 hours each way is an abomination and I bet most people who hate their WFH situation prefer it over that shit.
- adithyassekhar 5mo agoOh absolutely. I take my comment back.
- butlike 5mo agoI can see your point. Right now, it's really on the opposite spectrum of how it used to be. Forced commute + interaction vs. forced isolation. Sure either side could take steps to mitigate, like renting the "quiet cubicle" on the one side or "working from a coffee shop" on the other, but as it stands, "WFH" is really the downswing of the "commute to office" upswing.
