The problem isn’t remote working – it’s clinging to office-based practices. The global workforce is now demanding its right to retain the autonomy it gained through increased flexibility as societies open up again.

It's only an unpopular opinion because you're on Reddit, a predominantly tech savvy website, on a subreddit specifically for tech savvy people who are obviously going to prefer to use their home setups than go into the office.

I'm a systems admin for a major University, I never had a day of working from home during the pandemic and would have elected to continue coming into work regardless. Our office is completely back to normal now and I've not heard anyone complain, most people were glad to put COVID mostly behind us and get back to work.

That said, my hours are "when I show up til when I go home" and my lunch time is "when I get food til the time I'm no longer getting food." My commute to work is around 6 minutes, 1 stop light and 3 round-abouts. We don't use sick leave or vacation, you just don't go to work when you're doing one of those things and let the team know. Culture is more important than anything, and I feel quite privileged that my manager trusts me to get my work done without needing any rules in order for that to happen.
