There are a lot of news articles about “back to the office”, but they recirculate the same bad ideas. Let’s provide some new ideas for the media to circulate. It may also have the effect of making the office less terrible.

I would like my work computer to do Windows updates lightning quick in the office. It currently takes weeks, in or out of the office. Stopping in for a day makes no difference, so there is no point. Now, if there was a point, I would go in.

What would get you in the office?

    I’m only required to go 4 days a month (supposedly once a week).

    I go almost every day anyway. 15 minutes of subway (Buenos Aires’ Subte) and the office is more confortable than my very small department anyway. Also, nice lunch room, refrigerators with fruit, nice coffee and even when it’s open floor, the number of people is still reduced and not (too) distracting.

      Yeah, if it only took me 15 mins and I didn’t have to drive, I’d be fine with it too. Currently my drive is about 30m outside of rush hour times, longer of course during. In addition I have to move soon, so it might go up again. That’s all just wasted time.

        I don’t envy you the drive.

        I have lived in Buenos Aires or the suburban surroundings all my 53 years of life. Never owned, needed or wanted a car, which would be useless to me anyway because I don’t know how to drive. Nor I ever wanted or needed to know.
