Yeah, I've been WFH since the pandemic and my team is remote anyway, so even going to the office doesn't help (much).

I'm exploring in-office jobs for 2026.

I like my remote job and don’t want to leave, but I also can’t work at home because I get depressed and my productivity drops to zero.

Wework and other coworking spaces have mostly been a disappointment as a way to find community, with just two exceptions over the years (one of which was killed by covid).

I’m still searching.

i am somewhere in the middle because my work requires me to go to the office only four days per month but no one is really checking (nor they check if i go in at 9 am or 1pm).

so for me it's nice because i get to have my slow morning and go to the office during lunch break (i live relatively close).

this made me realize that i don't really mind the office (i ended up going almost every day, staying from lunch break 'till 5pm) but i loathe essentially two things:

- shitty coworkers (better to hop job at all, but avoiding them in person does help a lot)

- going to the office being mandatory (as in, not having freedom and autonomy)

in my current setup colleagues tend to autonomously organize when to meet in the office and go out for lunch together. and frankly... it's great.

the work itself has a lot of shortcomings (and i'm fixing things left and right from the first week i joined the company) but the people and the autonomy make it great.
