      I like a short commute, and companies like to have their offices in expensive places that are unaffordable.

        Or they’re in office parks out in the middle of nowhere, and the closest residential anything is 20+ minutes away.

      Pros of working in an office:

      • clear separation of work and home
      • can easily ask coworkers next to you for a second opinion on things

      Cons of working in an office:

      • commute
      • coworkers casually ask you for a second opinion on everything

      The laziest employees prefer the office, since they can just sit and do nothing, but get credit since they sat in their cubicle all day.

      Getting measured based on your productivity terrifies lazy employees (some of whom are executives).

      I manage a team of 20 employees, in a hybrid environment. I only have to ‘monitor’ the employees in the office, because they tend to ‘disappear’, miss deadlines, be late for meetings. Not all of them, but none of my remote workers have these issues.
