I'm not the person you posted this to, but I've been remote since 2020. Most of my work has been remote administration of multiple customer sites, but recently I've taken on a leadership role and been going into an office 1-2x/week.

I don't care for it. 

I've got a long commute, and going into an office these days doesn't guarantee face-to-face time, it just burns up time in the car that I could be on a video call with people in other offices and time zones.

When I do work from home, I have a couple of coffee shops I like going to - there's a nice buzz, cool music, and great lunches.

I played around with ambient tracks playing the sound of a bustling coffee shop, those were entertaining for a while - but I'd rather listen to my curated ambient tracks playing on my BBS.
