The office is the real environment. When working from home, people are more isolated and heavily restricted by silos and tracking systems. That’s the false environment. Compare talking to a friend in person to texting them from miles away.

I can not assume you’re dealing with a horrible job / company. Everywhere I’ve worked people are free to pet their cat or whatever while waiting for a meeting to start etc. At home you can listen to loud music and not disturb your coworkers or isolate yourself with headphones.

Meetings are also more open so it’s fine to listen in on a range of meetings you wouldn’t normally show up to.

That’s far from my experience. It sounds like you’re dealing with a horrible job / company here.
