My remote org had an onsite this past week. I forgot how much I hate 'socializing' and how useless water cooler talk is.

They tried their best to make it enjoyable but I am so much happier in my home office with no background noise, no need to get dressed up, and being able to define my own schedule (I eat lunch at 3-4pm and bay tech orgs serve lunch at noon with all the smells disturbing me).

I expect the vast majority of Return-To-The-Office managers are extroverts who have no understanding of the energy toll that socializing requires from the introverts who work for them.
