I’m older and would never work in an office again. It feels like a lot of those who want to go back in the office want to do it for social support reasons (lonely, single, don’t get on with family…).

The thing is having to be the social support for co-workers is one of the things that makes working in an office so horrible for many of us. It feels like a lot of people want to burden their co-workers with social roles that are better filled pretty much anywhere else.

"burden their co-workers with social roles"

Some folks are looking for new relationships, especially those just starting their career or moving to a new ciry. Ideally they find other like them, rather than 'burdening' people who don't care

Cities offer many opportunities to socialize outside of work. Especially when you’re wfh and can go out and mingle with people as needed.
