I have a personal theory that a lot of complaints about working in-person go away when you remove very long commutes, in particular by car.

A bit like how most complaints about pull requests go away if you make it a priority to get them done as fast as possible.

A 5 minute commute still necessitates putting on pants. Can't win there.

You can also put on a cute skirt if you want.

I've been wfh since covid hit, I still put on pants every workday to keep myself from treating it like an eternal Saturday. I know if I start slipping I'll become one of the laziest people on the planet

My personal theory is that a lot of advocacy for working in-person goes away when you remove:

  1. People that financially benefit from office culture (office land lords, restaurants near office buildings, janitorial services, etc.)
  2. Social vampires that view the office as the best place to gossip and share their boring personal lives with a captive audience
  3. Managers and executives with poor leadership skills and low self esteem

I had a 20-30 minute commute each way on transit or a 1 hour walk. Still love working from home more.
