There are a lot of news articles about "back to the office", but they recirculate the same bad ideas. Let's provide some new ideas for the media to circulate. It may also have the effect of making the office less terrible.

I would like my work computer to do Windows updates lightning quick in the office. It currently takes weeks, in or out of the office. Stopping in for a day makes no difference, so there is no point. Now, if there was a point, I would go in.

What would get you in the office?

This is really it. I've been working remote since well before 2020. If my office were 12 minutes away by bike I'd be there every day. Having an entirely separate space dedicated for work is great, actually! Especially if your team is all there too.

But when I first went remote it was 90 minutes by car, and half my team were in other countries. Going remote gave me 15 hours per week of my life back. There's nothing you can do to convince me to give that up again.
