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?

    They’d have to pay for quite a few things…

    • Housing near the office (I’m literally in another country lol)
    • Uber rides to/from
    • Food at the office

      Why Uber rides as opposed to, say, having the office (and your home) in a good location such that you can efficiently use public transit? IMO that’s the ideal. Having to use a car is wasteful.

        Uber has an option for electric cars, so it could be less wasteful.

        Public transit in the American region of my company’s HQ is known to be horrible and borderline non functional.
