My boss is pushing back on my permanent remote work request

Hey All, My boss is citing that face to face in-office interactions are pivotal to professional development and progression.

It feels like the old vs the young, what is the true issue?

I don't want to think this but it seems true. What I've witnessed locally and on reddit is the fact that someone believes they know better and prevents any kind of negotiation. If you are older you are inclined to say you know more because you have been around longer. But what happens when someone younger with more education tries to correct that person? They are told they are wrong or don't know better. On a more local level I can detect just pure hate, like everyone a generation above me have lost hope and have nothing but anger left.

Advice for people at the end of their rope?

What can those of us who can barely keep slaving away do? In my particular example and to keep it short, I have multiple serious debilitating illnesses. All made worse by working. I'm talking for the less fortunate among us, that for one reason or another, working makes their life a living hell. Big difference between not liking your job vs work making you sick. Being a slave sucks. But being a sick slave is a nightmare. I'm in my early 30s and since entering the 30s I've become increasingly aware of my mortality. When not working (weekends), I feel OK – I'd like to keep going, Come the workweek, and I want everything to end. The pain is too much.
