[Psalm 73]

My company had used a lot of leased off-site office space, which they subsequently jettisoned during the shutdown.

They can't bring us all back if they wanted to - just not enough room.

And they apparently save a lot of money having us work from home - the slackers always found a way to loaf in the office anyway, so this way we don't have to see them loaf. And we get more work done.

I'd rather work late in my basement office during a program crunch then stay until late at night in an office 35 miles away.

“I’d rather work late in my basement office during a program crunch then stay until late at night in an office 35 miles away.”

110% - and I often did.

“the slackers always found a way to loaf in the office anyway, so this way we don’t have to see them loaf.”

You forgot the best part—when you are not in the office you do not need to listen to them loaf—many are often noisy and disruptive while they get on the phone with all their girlfriends to discuss their plans to raise bond for their “good boy” who is in jail—yet again.
