      My cubicle office job often involves going downstairs to the lab so I can take measurements with equipment far too expensive for me to have at home, and even too expensive for the company to lend out to employees’ home offices.

      A lot of return-to-office work is bullshit, but making absolutist blanket statements like that just weakens the argument rather than helping anybody.

      When you can only commute with a car, yeah it’s dumb. However, I have a daily commute of 1 hour with my bicycle and it’s a great way to get some exercise. In this regard it’s forcing me to move my body, which I otherwise probably wouldn’t in my free time. Gym of life.
