Want employees to return to the office? Then give each one an office
Nope. My previous employer tried this in ~2021 with the intention of demanding a full RTO as soon as they possibly could after decades of being a cubicle farm. I immediately left for a company that adapted to remote-first and never looked back<p>My commute time has turned into workout and cooking time, (as expected I&#x27;m in the best shape of my life,) my only coworker is my spouse and best friend, I get to live closer to my family than ever before in a quiet, LCOL town, and the impact on my career and for the company has never been greater<p>You&#x27;ll have to do a LOT better than my own closet to convince me that wasting my time commuting every day, from a place I don&#x27;t want to live, to spend time in close proximity to people I might not care for would be a better proposition than the one I have now
