Been back full time for 3 weeks by choice instead of being remote as people trickle in.
I think when people start going back we will quickly see that most aspects of the office are actually worse.
I am a hard worker but I am also social and with just a few people back I end up wasting at least 1 hour talking about non-work related things. This isn't even an open floor plan.
If you are going back to an open floor plan, forget about it. Things will be so obviously less productive.
I am enjoying going into the office but I also know this time is limited. At some point in the future going into the office is going to be a perk with remote standard. Bet your ass on that.
You don't even have to bring in the cost savings but the cost savings will be the knockout punch.
