What would get you "back to the office"? (midwest.social)

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?

              You can click in and out when you leave and arrive home. They absolutely can know how long it takes each way
No but they'd fire you if you moved too far to commute, and they pay you a wage that may or likely doesn't cover the cost of living in your area
Hate to break it to you champ but it already is a factor for onsite workers. Despite being able to do so I was not chosen for a job because I lived too far from the office as a stated reason.
