In response to your response (which I cannot reply to)- that&#x27;s just one example. I did say that it <i>may</i> benefit some companies some of the time but I highly doubt that it&#x27;s worthwhile enough to be a driver for EVERYONE to work from a central location in every company. That one time when something awesome happened at the office just doesn&#x27;t outweigh the need to cut pollution, solve the housing crises and have better family lives.<p>America is experiencing its worst mental health and depression crisis ever, I would not be surprised if working conditions were a massive factor.<p>Companies should not live and die by water cooler conversations (and mostly don&#x27;t).
