There are a lot of news articles about “back to the office”, but they recirculate the same bad ideas. Let’s provide some new ideas for the media to circulate. It may also have the effect of making the office less terrible.

I would like my work computer to do Windows updates lightning quick in the office. It currently takes weeks, in or out of the office. Stopping in for a day makes no difference, so there is no point. Now, if there was a point, I would go in.

What would get you in the office?

    It would cost me at least 15 hours of free time a week in commute and at least $800 extra a month. Then there’s the physiological strain of being trapped in a car and that’s not good for my back and hips. Let’s not forget “Jane,” my obnoxious “I don’t like Trump but” conservative coworker who has loud and vocal political opinions that I can help but overhear because she sits in the undersized fluorescent lit cubicle next to mine in my dark, dusty, windowless office. No thanks. I’m much happier at home.
