Ask HN: Employers, why do you want us back in the office?

What I know is that those first few years of my career in office were the best years of my life. I’ve been scrambling around trying everything to fill the gap left by remote work, I go to meetups, I have family and friends, none of it is as significant as working together with people for the majority of your day.

I’m going back to the office and I won’t take another job that has most people remote.

In that particular office.

Ive had spells of time like that. Mine were at universities working together in labs.

Ive worked software jobs in companies and startups where the developers sat in the same room all day and didn't speak. Completely unsociable. I found that much more soul destroying than remote working.

And that is waaay better then toxic environment. I will take a social, it is manageable. But seeing someone humiliate or verbally abuse or whatever other on daily basis sux. And it sux even when it is mild, it sux when the place is run by cliques and what not.

Me too! Research labs were the best. Office workplaces grind my soul to dust.
