Antiwork

This will sound dumb, but am I overlooking something or are people overlooking the problem with working from home?

Yes, working at the office tends to suck, offices tend to suck and have negative associations with them, commutes suck and are expensive, business parks suck, and a lot of coworkers and bosses are annoying or toxic, but ideas like online schooling and working from home don't seem to be the ultimate answer. It has its positives of course, but it feels like an example of technosolutionism, solving some problems but creates other problems in the process instead of taking a systematic approach to problem solving. Hybrid doesn't seem to be a systemsatic solution either. It has the same thinking as allocating money equally between two stocks when not knowing which one to pick instead of approaching the problem with different thinking. It can have its pros, but again, it doesn't seem to be a systematic solution.
