I'm glad you find value in your situation.

I don't necessarily share your opinions, as my situations have been entirely different. A majority of the office based jobs I've had could have absolutely been fully remote. Hell, I might have kept one or two of them for longer if they were remote.

Were you under the impression that I have to go into an office? Just saying there are benefits, though WFH outweighs them.

No. Was my brief post that confusing?

I was under the impression that you found value in your situation... which is why I said that I was happy for you finding value in your situation.

I was also under the impression that I didn't find value in my return to work situations, and that the majority of the office jobs I've had can be done 100% remotely... which is why I said that I didn't find value in my situations said the majority of the office jobs I've had could be done 100% remotely.

Notice I didn't make any comments about your shitty closing paragraph that is an out of hand dismissal of anyone who might have an opposing view?
