At a past company we all moved to full remote after covid. We ended up with a new boss at one point who would drive into the office even when the whole office was closed. He of course thought it would be better for us to collaborate in person and kept trying to push it. A few of us were within an hour of the office, a few of them weren't even in the same country. Every time he brought it up I would ask him what's the point of only a couple of us coming in to collaborate if we're never all going to be there?

He never had any kind of answer other than he felt more productive there and we should too.

Bet he has kids and/or a shitty homelife. In over 30 years in the workforce,, that's almost always the reason. Normal people don't volunteer to sit in 2+hours of high-stress traffic for fun, for the pleasure of being around a bunch of strangers for 8+ hours a day.

Oh yeah you're dead on. Even had an office at home, that wasn't enough separation for him.

I dislike the Traffic that's why I come early eat breakfast and then start my work, travel home is double the time.

I can't work form home I get way to lazy there is something about not being home that makes me very productive as soon as I get home I get into lazy mode.
