I actually am someone who would go into the office part time but I would still want to maintain the ability to have 100% remote work.

I am bothered a lot by people at home. I’ve been remote pre-pandemic so the affliction of people thinking your being at home means you can run their errands is not new. The pandemic made it worse because now I am bothered all day every work day.

You’d think, “stop bothering the person paying the mortgage” would be a motivator but it’s simply not the case for me.

I know many people in this position so it is worthwhile to have empathy for people who really need an office.

And of course to reiterate, that doesn’t mean that a return to office should be mandatory.
