I'm quite definitely under 30, and I just quit in order to stay remote. I'm so much more relaxed, and I can spend actual quality time with my wife and friends. I'm not sure why anyone would want to go back.

I'll wager a guess that a lot of those other "under 30" cases were people living with 3 other jerk roommates who used to just come home to sleep but now had to put up with each other for a whole year.

Yeah, if I were single and living in a Big City™, I'd be desperate to be in an office again, too.

Oddly, this has become an environment where something like WeWork could actually make sense. I might like to have a workspace without any coworkers.

There's plenty of shared workspaces in many cities. WeWork just leveraged some workspaces into an absolutely comical valuation.

Yeah I suspect the real connection are people who look to depend on the office culture to provide a key part of their social interaction. In some cases that will track with age, but not always.

I mean, I like my coworkers well enough, but I'm a redneck at heart. I'm never going to actually fit in with the yuppies.

I quite enjoyed showing up to my big tech parking lot in the F250. Nobody knew quite what to make of me.
