These I-talk-with-people-for-a-living perspectives on return-to-office are exactly why I have never wanted to be in an office setting. I get why the author wants to be in the office; he thrives on social interaction.

I'm willing to go to the office one day a week. That's it, no more. Not now, not ever again.
