In an office, you spend 8-10+ hours to work a 3-hour day. You have to commute to the place. You're basically sick with the flu (but working due to social pressures) for half of February. Being visible from behind while working, as is typical in an open-plan environment, not only suggests low status but causes chronic inflammation that'll cause you to have health problems in your 30s that normally pop up in one's 60s.

Offices suck. The only reason the cattle are being called back into them is because a bunch of propertarian squidcunts convinced some corrupt mayors to say "it's time" even though COVID is still quite active (I'm recovering from it as I type this, and it sucks).

None of this was really my experience, I was maybe lucky enough to do it, but I just rented an apartment near my office and had a 10 minute ride to work.

I saved myself a lot of money and time even if I paid more rent than others with cars and suburban mortgages.

I just told my colleagues if I had my headphones on , not to disturb me unless urgent. I got a fair bit done in the startup I worked for, it sold for a lot of money a year ago so I guess it was productive enough.

Not everyone have the luxury to rent an apartment near their workplace even if they are willing to pay.
