2024-04-03 Return to the office? Never!

@rdonoghue@dice.camp wondered (mostly ironically, I suspect) about a correlation between the length of the commute and a propensity to favour Return To the Office (RTO) policies.

I used to walk 35min to the office and I still prefer the home office.

Based on what I saw during lockdown and based on what my wife tells me, I think more interesting options are:

• Do you have kids at home and prefer Return To the Office? (if older)
• Do you have parents at home and prefer Return To the Office? (if younger)
• Do you manage a team but don't talk to team members individually and prefer Return To the Office because you can overhear them talk? (if project manager)
• Do you have a need for sycophants surrounding you and prefer Return To the Office so you keep an eye on them? (ugh)

I'm sure there are more options but those seemed to be the obvious ones.

In all fairness:

• Do you have a hard time with focus and prefer the Home Office so that you're not exposed to noise, cross-talk and other distractions by coworkers? (me)
