You are free not to work and live the life you’re dreaming of.

My heartfelt condolences to all those affected. Having to drive to work is certainly very cruel and completely unexpected. Life is one of the hardest.

Well, the office is obviously the place where the work takes place. It was probably relatively okay for you when you started the job, then the pandemic hit and now you think it should be different. But it’s not up to you to decide whether it makes sense to go to the office, that’s for your employer to decide - you know, the guys who pay your salary.

However, our research found that returning to an office often is a major disruption to one’s routine, foundational work, and overall life experience.

Damn work. Disrupting their routine and life experience.
