I worked in an open office for years and never understood how people did things besides work. I tried 100% remote but that got lonely.
Now that I have an office, it's like I'm living a completely different life where there's energy for meaningful activities after work. I get so much more done. The socialization is down from 2019 but there's a feeling to being in a building full of people that's different from being stuck in your house all day.
I can't imagine accepting an open plan office job again, the money would have to be life changing. I suspect cubicles would be fine.
