I'm currently working primarily remote.

My point was to say that at least some of the problems with open offices are actually the open offices - not that I don't like the people.

I love my wife, but I'm still getting disrupted when she comes into the office (at home) and talks to me.

And purely remote also has its downsides. The best mix would be something like remote and private offices.

Honestly it sounds like you agree with me. My position isn't that open offices are great for everyone; it's that people who don't like open offices should look for work that doesn't require coming into an open office instead of taking a "woe is me" kind of attitude. If you work primarily remote, then you're someone who already took my advice
