We had a three-year experiment. Productivity didn't collapse. If anything, a lot of people got more done. The 'we need to see you to trust you' thing was proven wrong.

Less commuting means less emissions, less road wear, less office energy use. If we care about climate at all, remote work is an easy win.

I get the environmental angle, but what about the impact on small local businesses that rely on office workers for foot traffic? It's a tricky balance.

My work-life balance got worse, not better. I work longer hours, I can never disconnect, my home has been invaded by work. The 'flexibility' is just always being available.

The pandemic 'success' was people burning through trust built over years of working together. Now teams are weaker, mentorship is worse, culture is dying. The damage was just delayed.

Junior employees are getting screwed. You learn so much just by being around senior people. Overhearing conversations, grabbing coffee, spontaneous problem-solving. You can't replicate that on Zoom.

Underrated comment. This should be at the top.

The best ideas come from random hallway conversations. Getting people in a room with a whiteboard. Video calls are transactional and scheduled. Creativity suffers.
