How do people survive working in an office?

I have worked remotely since 2016 with a brief stint in 2021 for a new job I took. Those 2-3 months were literally hell and I was constantly looking for a WFH job during that job.

It is peaceful and productive. I like the separation from my personal space.

some people prefer being in office, some prefer WFH... do whatever makes you most productive.

I just like being around people in general, sitting at home is just that very thing, I fricking sit down all day.
When I’m in an office, I get to walk around much more on various floors, sometimes the client has a different building on the next block that I’ll get to walk to, I just feel good to have a breath of fresh air and be around people for my mental health
During the day is working from home, I started getting chubby from constantly grazing on all sorts of snacks and food, and just a bunch of unhealthy shite that I had stored in my pantry

It isn’t like you are being asked to go into the coal mines.

It’s called “Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs”

This.
I don't like living a hermit life.

I like my hybrid schedule where I’m 3 days WFH and 2 in the office. Best of both worlds.

I keep my office lights off and when I hear people asking for me I just yell "HE'S NOT HERE." That and my paycheck helps lessen the emotional blow of not being able to WFH.

I worked from home from 2020-2024, but it was at a job that I'd been at for 8 years already. It was ok, but going to the office isn't that big of a deal to me.
I changed jobs in 2024 and I'm back in the office full time.
I actually think WFH is a negative for new employees. No way would I have settled in at my new job being 100% remote.

I can’t stand working from home. Doing it for 18 months for Covid reminded me that I much prefer being in the office to be around people and stuff.
I can work at home 2 or 3 days a week with current job and I choose only to do it on Fridays.

This is a big thing. Early career folks, at least in the fields I work in, benefit so much more if they're able to walk an office or two down and pick the brain of a more seasoned veteran.
They're MUCH less likely to just up and video or phone call that same person if sitting at home.

Seriously? Literally hell working in a office?
You could always be hanging off the back of a garbage truck if you prefer that line of work.

I like having human interaction. If i worked from home, i would goof around and find any excuse to not work

Last office I worked at I didn’t last three weeks. Desk next to a transitioning tranny and this was when Trump took office and started cancelling funds for trannies. Plus the political lectures from the black director who’s life goal was to go work for USAID. Friggen commies.

It’s not the environment, it’s the schedule
I would jump off a building if I had to work 9-5 M-F
