[smoe]

I don't exactly love the office but prefer it. I like to have a strong separation between working and living space/time. I have a room in my apartment that I could use as an office, but I rather use it for hobbies than work. Even when, almost a decade ago, I was freelancing and could work from wherever, I worked from home only an hour or two in the morning before moving somewhere.

That said, me wanting this separation is probably not stronger than a bad commute. It is currently a 15min stroll. Before that, it was an 45min train ride, but in Switzerland where trains are quite comfortable and I could use the time to work, do some admin, listening to podcasts, read a book or chat with friends.

Definitely not in favor to require people back to the office and thus force them living nearby. I like for people to have options.
