> I do think it's great to meet your coworkers so they're more than faces in Zoom, but I am absolutely never going back to rotting away in a car and office most of my waking week.

I feel the same way.

I have been remote for over 10 years but prior to that, it was another 10 in an office.

That included an hour commute each way, random downtime and interruptions.

I honestly have no doubt I am more productive now, given that was "leave at 7 AM get home at 7 PM".

There is no way in any given day I am getting less work done in 12 hours than I was then.

I will never again go back to bumper-to-bumper traffic on the expressway again, even if we end up in a race-to-the-bottom on salaries. QoL is more important to me now.
