Great read, I like these kind of articles by The Atlantic.
One thing I want to comment on is this:
> Employers give us paychecks, but they also provide us with this additional commodity. Refusing to return to the office is akin to leaving it on the table
Nobody is denying the positives of going to the office, its just hard to justify 2 hours wasted everyday just to go to work.
Going to business events / exhibitions in your profession can achieve the same goal, but certainly not as easy to do as meeting the same people every (working)day, and building a deep relationship in the process.
