Not only do I despise remote working, I'm leaving the industry entirely as a direct result of working remotely, in favor of getting a law degree.

I'm just beyond sick and tired of my default mode being, "Stare at screen to solve problems."

I want to work with people, solve problems with people, help people. None of that is what most engineers in software prefer, and I'm tired of trying to force it on them for the apparently insignificant reason that it's highly effective.
