Reminds me of the same kind of government-platform communication that Republicans argued against in last year's dual SCOTUS cases of Moody v. NetChoice and NetChoice v. Paxton.

Ironically, people used to think I was irrational pre-pandemic when I explained working in coffee shops has often been better for me than working in an ultra-quiet an office.

Full circle: I've enjoyed WFH flexibility freelancing, but I'm actually prioritizing IRL for my next FT job.

Seems like too much of the overall narrative about the RTO vs WFH has been around CEOs wanting people back in the office and employees wanting to work remotely.

I think the debate ignores people who actually wish they had an office but don't have one when their company is 100% remote.
