How many of you are still working full-time remote and how is it going? If not, why not? Was the decision made by you to go back to the office or did your employer decide for you? (kbin.social)

I am still working full-time remote. There are definitely some social aspects of going to the office I miss, but I really don't miss the commute or the shitty office politics. Overall I feel I am still more productive from home and happier overall.

Fucking nobody wants to go back to an office full-time.

As someone that strongly prefers working in an office, this makes me sad. I do my best work when I’m surrounded by other people doing the same kind of work as me. Coworking spaces and body doubling on Discord don’t work the same (and one of those is $300-$400 a month to boot). I realize I can’t make my coworkers come in. But god damn do I wish they had any desire to work in person. I haven’t seen most of them in person in 3 years, and half of them are within walking distance of the office!
