Office Workers Don’t Hate the Office. They Hate the Commute

Why do people tend to try to boil everything down to one bullet point. It's 2 or more of the following:

  - The commute
  - Office politics
  - Open offices
  - Having to buy work clothes
  - Having to wear work clothes
  - Having to buy expensive lunch every day
  - Having to use inferior equipment
  - Having to wake up an hour or two early
  - Not being able to take meaningful breaks during the day
  - Cost of gas
  - Having to refill the car more often
  - Having extra wear and tear on your car (depreciation)
  - Office noise
  - People carelessly interrupting you constantly
  - Dealing with parking with 200 other people
  - Heaven forbid if there is an accident on the commute
  - You have to do it even during inclement weather

I can add more, but you get the gist.

- Bad lighting - Aircon always too hot - Hot-desking - Getting sick - Higher Co2 levels - Can't do minor things over lunch like putting the washing on etc....

This list goes on and on. I don't find a single thing better let alone good about working in any office.
