You are saying that you always live near your office, so who is stopping you from going to the same park or cafe while WFH?


Because then you go back home, which is really your work.

The WFH pushers like to set up a “why spend 1-2 hours on commute when you could use that time on other things” straw-man. Some of us enjoyed our 20-30 minute commute as a separation between work and the rest of our lives.

It is not nice to come home from that coffee shop and see your workplace, waiting for you, across the room when you walk in your front door.

Dunno, I just close my work laptop when I'm done working and ignore it for the rest of my day just fine. I understand that non-insignificant amount of people have some weird psychological issue with that, but I don't agree that we should force everyone back to the office because of that.


You might (bigotedly) dismiss it as a “weird psychological issue”, but I look at it as a personal boundary.
