How to stop hating work? (beehaw.org)

For background on this topic without getting too specific, I'm an engineer and I typically work in an office. I'm younger and haven't been in the work force for long but working in office spaces is driving me insane.

Now I understand that work isn't supposed to be super fun, but I'd like to at least be able to tolerate it. So far I've spent a couple years in offices and it's been miserable. I enjoy what I do as far as engineering. I like the topics, I like the productive parts of what I do. But I cannot stand office spaces. They're uncomfortable and depressing environments for me.

I feel like spending time working from home would be ideal, but I'd like to hear people's thoughts and if anyone else has had this experience. Is it something you just get used to?

What field are you in? Anything automotive is going to be a suckfest. Also, many people treat younger people like shit for no reason. I would look for a new job.
