I've come to hate being in my house, having worked from home for 3 years. My brain just associates it with work. I haven't got a very big house. I resent it so much I don't even have the will to do maintenance and repairs. I can't wait for on-site interviews to resume and find a job in an office.

EDIT: I've never worked at a job/office as hellish as the post describes. Better office jobs than that exist.

Amazon is bringing back their office employees as the default operating mode; citing inefficiencies in the creative process. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/31/amazon-expects-some-employee...

beatings will continue until I see that creative spark light up again

While the cross-pollination of ideas from different teams and departments is lost, along with interesting and serendipitous discussions, I'm also in the boat of hoping I never have to go back to an office. Not having a commute, being able to spend more time with my kids, not eating less-healthy fast-food rather than home-cooked meals, being able to spend my (lunch) breaks working in my garden... I never want to go back!

I'm sorry I don't understand. What beatings/punishments?

Sounds like an place I wouldn't want to go back to, either. If my office environment was anything even close to that, I think I'd be looking for another job. I actually look forward to going back in and seeing people again, but only like twice a week.
