Many of the in-office jobs I have had were extremely annoying. It felt like most people don't have a life outside of work so they would use work as "social time" and would waste your time half of the day every day. Remote works has let me get far more work done in far less time and I don't have to worry about people randomly walking into my office to BS for a hour about nothing every 30 minutes. It's not for everyone but there are plenty of places that are happy to have you in-office if that is what you want.

From the post: "Spoilers: it’s not about whether remote or office work is better. The prevalence of return to office mandates has provoked much discourse and strong opinions. For good reasons. Return to office mandates can tear teams apart by pushing out people who cannot relocate, at huge cost. "

The company I work for has always leased all their space. They went from leasing three floors of a huge building in Phoenix to one and it's saving them tons. The company itself doesn't mind the remote situation - most of us were already remote - but the idiot director I'm under is one of those lonely people who needs constant interaction. He forces us on camera as much as possible and drags us into the office occasionally to squish us in a moldy conference room to stare at one another while he asks us personal questions. It's awful. He will never be gotten rid of becaise he's the best friend of the guy just above him.

I was grilled about if I enjoy going to the zoo the last time I was dragged in. I'm going to make excuses not to go in next time. I think my AC will convienetly go out and I have to let the repair guy in. I can say I don't trust the complex to have people in when I'm not home. He should understand that.
