There are a lot of news articles about “back to the office”, but they recirculate the same bad ideas. Let’s provide some new ideas for the media to circulate. It may also have the effect of making the office less terrible.

I would like my work computer to do Windows updates lightning quick in the office. It currently takes weeks, in or out of the office. Stopping in for a day makes no difference, so there is no point. Now, if there was a point, I would go in.

What would get you in the office?

    A couple of things:

    • commute time counts as work time
    • no open plan landscape office
    • no ‘clean desk’ policy but the ability to personalise your workplace
    • dishwasher and general kitchen stuff not being a ‘shared responsibility’ but someone’s job.
    • office being in a nice neighborhood with fun things to do after work or during lunch

    My employer spent the past ~10 years de-personalising our offices, and now they wonder why people don’t like to hang out in their sterile ‘clean’ building.
