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?

See you're very clearly a textbook introvert so on-site work around people feels rewarding to you.

I also like going to the office to socialise. But I absolutely don't plan on getting any of my actual work done on those days.

If I wanted to work, I would stay home.

    Lol wtf haha. I'm not really an extrovert tho, I just really enjoy being around people and having fun... even though I can never start a conversation with someone myself, if I haven't known them for years already.

    I'm also awful at keeping up conversations, my smalltalk game is straight up non-existent. Maybe one leads to another or so. But when I warmed up with others I tend to love being around them. At least for a while, sometimes I need to refresh my social battery again, but I feel we're all kinda like that

    Fair fair fair. I'm definitely not going to tell you what you are, but this:

    sometimes I need to refresh my social battery again, but I feel we’re all kinda like that

    Is really textbook extrovert, haha. Like I love hanging out with people too, and chatting, and grabbing pints, etc. But because I'm an introvert, it drains me. So if I go to a big event, I need a couple of weeks to myself before I feel like I have the energy to do that again.
