There are a lot of news articles about "back to the office", but they recirculate the same bad ideas. Let's provide some new ideas for the media to circulate. It may also have the effect of making the office less terrible.

I would like my work computer to do Windows updates lightning quick in the office. It currently takes weeks, in or out of the office. Stopping in for a day makes no difference, so there is no point. Now, if there was a point, I would go in.

What would get you in the office?

Fewer total days working for the same salary.

If they said: you can work 5 days/week from home or 3 days/week from the office, I'd pick the office.

    Idk, given that scenario, I’d still wfh and just not do anything those extra 2 days, since clearly the work can be done in 3. Or work really slowly, and do lots of other things instead like play games make things, or clean.

    Really, the only option. Either more pay or more free time. The amount of savings in not having to commute means going back to the office is a pay cut.

    Going to the office is an 8 minute bike ride, it’s not the commute for me. It’s being stuck in an office building.

    With stupid, smelly, loud, obnoxious, old, young, did I mention stupid? People who need to stay far away. If I had no commute I'd need a private office with my own parking and entry. I don't want to be around these people.
