Indeed. Give me a proper office with a door, like I had for the first 18 years of my career, and I'll happily go to the office every day.

But open office? Nope, nope, nope. Work from home or nothing.

Not just open office. My company doesn’t even have fixed seating. Basically you show up and wander around until you find an open desk. You have to take all your stuff with you if you need to go to a meeting or to lunch. It is ridiculous.
