F**k Just Going Back to Your Office
summary
Claims remote work is salvageable not as a return to pre‑pandemic offices but as redesigned routines and spaces: cites 12 years of WFH experience and that only 30–40% of jobs can be remote, uses hard numbers — 37,000 people dead in Canada and 51 weeks of school closures — to argue the sample is contaminated. Proposes employer‑funded local co‑working, warns of surveillance tools and hybrid as more than swapped weekdays, and points to NYC’s highest office vacancy in 40 years.
