Want employees to return to the office? Then give each one an office
I don't think having our own office was the problem. The problem was that entire industries were set up around selling and buying space in office buildings, roads and public transport routes had to be expanded over time to keep up with the demand of commuters.<p>And the pandemic blessed us with the opportunity to say "for what?"<p>The only reason to make employees work from an office when they could work fine remotely is so that they can be micromanaged - it's just a needless waste of building space, public transport capacity, employee time commuting.<p>I totally agree that it helps to have people come in now and then though, I think the social part of working with other people is still relevant to us as hoomans and it's useful to have everyone come in once every x to get to know each other, in jobs where you're working in a team.
