       | Wow, and they just built Salesforce Tower. Can some floors be
       | converted to housing?

         | apartment located exactly where your office used to be?

       | I was allowed and occasionally worked from home before pandemic.
       | I have an excellent technical setup and separate room for my home

       | 
       | But now, almost one year later, I want to go back to the office.
       | 
       | I certainly felt less stressed and more happy when I could enjoy
       | the change in environment and having some in-person social
       | interactions.
       | 
       | Working from home makes me loose the feeling that I'm part of
       | something and the job I liked a lot becomes just "a job".
       | 
       | This is probably not universal, since each company is different,
       | with different traditions. Maybe some people are relieved that
       | they won't have to step into the office ever again. :)

         | I'm certainly much happier working from home at this point, but
         | I also used to have a commute of roughly 1.5 hrs a day.
         | 
         | At this point I don't envision ever returning to an office.

         | Join a social club or get a hobby, no matter if its book club,
         | rock climbing, fitness classes at the gym, volunteering, or
         | D&D.

         | Congratulations, you have been officially deprogrammed, welcome
         | to reality.
