So you’re saying both you and your husband commute hours per day and then when you get to the office there are zero opportunities to interact with another live person for the 8+ hours you’re there, like it’s an apocalyptic wasteland? I find that surprising for the millions of you.[/quote]

New poster, but this is my experience.  I am in one city, my manager is in another.  My role is to coordinate with contacts across the US.  So whether I am "in the office" or at home, I am on video calls and sending emails all day.  Due to the structure of our floor, there are no occupied offices near me.

My interaction with people is when I take my computer to another floor to get it repaired and when I wave hello to the security guard at the desk inside the door.

So yes, I literally commute an hour each way to check a box.  In my case we're hybrid and I only go in once a week, so I don't complain.  I use it as an opportunity to print out stuff for later reading.[/quote]
