There's no way to way what most office setups tend to be like, but I can tell you that when I'm in the office, I feel really isolated from others. To the point where being at home is no different other than maybe for the two 5-minute personal interactions I have with people. Let's face it, a lot of modern office environments are shit for human flourishing. You're better off being surrounded by a couple dogs at home than the stale interaction at the office. Again I realize offices are all different as are tasks, but this is my opinion from experience in about 7 different offices spanning full time, contract and temporary onsite freelance work. I would love a job where I NEED to be at the office, instead of feeling like it's a waste of my time just to satisfy my supervisor's 'feelz' but not his / her or the company's actual needs. I'm for balance between in and out of office. I'm for not being locked into one chair as if sitting in the same place was ever the way that humans were supposed to live for the majority of their day / life.
