This is why I'll likely never work in an office again. So much theater, posturing, and bs. I'd rather be judged strictly on my results, which remote work maximizes.

When offices were still a thing at least one could have some alone time to focus and a sense of privacy. Open offices are awful and straight dystopian unless you're actually a startup with < 20 employees. Why employees put up with that is beyond me, but I'm glad that COVID put offices out of fashion. Just wish I could get some apology letters for the office grunts and Uncle Toms who used to make a big deal out of WFH to make themselves seem relevant.
