Similarly pro office crowd come across as bunch of draconian overlords with little regards to the nature of the work and circumstances of other people. Such is the joy of the internet. Both crowds are likely to be much more middle ground in real life conversation. Perhaps that highlights your points even more. That aside, in my experience working at a good office is much more fun and a lot of the time nearly as productive as remote working. However I currently work remotely as the two hour daily commute is way too much, though I find that visiting my own office or other, nearer offices tends to help brighten up the work week. It certainly seems to me that communicating mainly via text makes it harder to restrain negative comments as you don't get the facial and body language cues. It takes much more effort to be polite and consider other peoples feelings. I wish it wasn't so.
