(sorry that turned into a massive rant but it's something I needed to get off my chest)

No, that's all fine and reasonable, it's just my own personal frustration. The company I have been working for has decided to force people back now, apropos of nothing (and after previously attempting such an idea but halting it due to it's massive unpopularity). We had a completely flex work setup (work from home or in office however often you feel like per week), and it's just...incomprehensible.

We also immediately lost someone that was going to be working with us and filling an important position, and I can't imagine becoming less flexible is appealing (although our disconnected executives are trying to tout it as such lmao)

I didn't mean to come off as completely unsympathetic to people for whom it's a more desirable option, just mourning the loss of flexibility that had actually gotten me to be ok with my job
