With my manager being on one side of my country and most of my team members on another, any attempt at ‘return to the office for collaboration’ invariably means sitting at a hot desk in an over subscribed office with my headphones on all day because every conversation I have is on a video call.

Problem is, they’re still pushing for it.

With a workforce spread the way many tech industry ones are, I really don’t see any reason to go in frequently at all, and I’ll happily change jobs to continue doing my current 4 days a week from my well equipped office at home. I don’t need to book the desk in advance and I can even leave my laptop on the desk too.
