the problem was never remote vs colocated. it was commuting.

offices are fine (though not required). travelling for > 15-20 mins to and from work is what sucks the most.

we need local office hubs. work around your local community for your employer near your home.



Sort of. Commuting is one side of it.

There’s also the issue many people have of not being able to do deep work in a busy open plan office.


This. In some jobs I was forced to procrastinate in the office and then finish work at home because I just couldn't focus in the open plan. When at review I asked for a separate office (company had this ability) they said I am not a manager so I can't. I left them soon after.
