This person is purposely being controversial for attention, they don't truly think this, nor is there any evidence productivity has gone down due to remote work.
Going into the office every day is a scam.
Or go to a bar and say hi to people who are hanging around. Compliment someone's jacket. Tell someone that their whole aesthetic is cool as fuck. Comment on the weather. Become a part of your local environment and interact with your fellow humans. Join a hiking or hobby group.
Work is actually one of the worst places to get your social enrichment. You're significantly more likely to change jobs than cities and your innie is less likely to feel like your true self. Furthermore there's a baseline mental taxation of being at work that doesn't come with being in a social environment. And nobody's going to come up to you at a social event and tell you to get back to work.

Nah, I'm good thanks
Fair enough, it will help with loneliness though. And I'll acknowledge it's hard and awkward at first, but it's a skill and it's one I think many people would appreciate developing. It's like getting in shape but for the social part of the self.
Even if I felt lonely, none of those things are how I would start talking to anyone.
When I'm in public I wish to be left alone. It would be a violation of the Golden Rule for me to start talking to randos about their outfits or the weather.
lmao. ikr. Extroverts just don't get it. 😔
Yeah, when I'm looking for sound mental health advice, I ask a CEO. Doesn't everyone?
What if it's the CEO of mental health
Even worse. A little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing.
CEOs almost never have the skills and experience in actually doing the work of their company. I and other techs have had to do IT work for the CEOs of our IT support company. Plus one of them accidentally opened a phishing email.
LPT: when you're this incoherent it's time to reassess your meds.
If my next job is office only. I'm strictly only using a desktop PC. You can give me a travel laptop. But I'm never taking it home.
office only
but bob, it's a corporate retreat, we're all going, grab your laptop
"FUCK YOU TODD, WHEN I WAS HIRED THE POSITION WAS OFFICE ONLY. GO FUCK YOURSELF AND YOUR RETREAT"
Rage bait for engagement.
performative rage bait, for sure
Sleepless nights for whom? My employer? Ahahah
This person probably goes to the office and sits in her own private room by herself, because she can't focus with the loud plebs on the big open office floor
This person arrives at 10, has a 1.5hour lunch, talks loudly around other people, leaves at 2 because needs to pick up the dog from the dog sitter, complains people are never in the office, only shows up 2 days a week if you're unlucky, 0 days if you're lucky.
Don't forget all those "networking" trips out of town.
"Hi, I'm a shitty person who has an opinion that is self-serving. Let me tell you what I think."
Your productivity is conected to your bosses way to lead. I wfh and my time is not measured in hours but in tasks. I have taks and deadlines. That's it, one person will do a task in 20 min another in an hour. So if you go by task it's more productive and I can choose what time I want to do it. Ifyou count the hours the person is working they can just say "oh that wasn't enough we had problems". I think it's dumb
I suspect this is mainly because almost all of the CEOs I’ve met are workaholics, and being “at work” is the only way they can self-validate.
And remember, most of them are dark-personality traits, which explains why they cannot understand why you don’t want to go in
Lol, immediately revealing that for her work is only pointless zoom meetings. Real productivity there ms CEO 😑
"Hard truth realized as a CEO"
After that I was hoping to see "There's more to life than this. I'm wasting the time I've got left on pointless numbers."
