I have a $50,000 computer at home. At the office I'm forced to use a $1000 laptop and maybe an external screen on the hot desk if I'm lucky and get a good spot.
Productivity wise it's not even close.

You're going to have to itemise this $50k computer for the rest of us.
Are you running some kind of EPYC cluster?
Where would you draw the line between the $1k laptop + single monitor and $50k top-of-the-line-plus-many-extras that would be the best productivity for buck compromise?
Just because people don’t like it doesn’t mean it isn’t true. The most profitable companies in the world know it. Look, I don’t want to ruin a good thing (I wfh) but obviously there’s a benefit to having people go into the office. Let’s not deceive ourselves that we have some moral high ground just because that’d be awfully convenient.
