Ask HN: Who's sick of remote work?

I want an in depth study that looks at things like this, as I prefer remote work because I have a bigger desk, bigger screens, a whiteboard, more screens, a better chair, and am not seated near a large window that dumps a ton of glare on my screen (my prior job).

So for me, remote is an upgrade in terms of infrastructure. For you, it is obviously a downgrade.

How many people who hate remote work have a Herman Miller Aeron vs a wooden kitchen chair?

How many who love remote work went from an open office vs a private office?

I see most discussions around liking/disliking remote work include the infrastructure/equipment as argument. I personally like remote in great part because of it.

I love my 4k display, my standing desk, my keyboard, my Aeron Chair. However, I doubt that if those were offered it'd be reason alone for me to go back to the office.

Agreed. For me, the logistics of having a dedicated office just down the road far outweigh the costs of the commute, and I like the mental and physical separation of home and work.

But, if that commute was 45 mins, or if I had a larger living space and a worse onsite location, I can guarantee that my opinion would reverse.
