And a huge part of that is obsessing over who is sitting at their desks & for how long.

I used to do it all: Use the stairs, try to use back door, use kitchen and bathroom on another floor - all to try to avoid people and not get roped in.

Mix it in with clueless people dropping by to chat, summer associates or first years you want to be nice to but every minute you spend with them is a minute later you're leaving that night, etc.

Another example of why in-house is worse with politics: avoiding it isn't an option. If you avoid it then it hurts your career. You HAVE to be involved or you're "out of the loop" (which is one of the worst things you can be).

Imagine we lived in a world where you didn't have to be terrorized in an open plan workspace. All work was infinitely exportable. Non-lawyers, do you REALLY think your wages wouldn't get assraped by global competition? Sure, most of the world is low IQ, but there's plenty of Brazilians and Indians and Chinese who can do your retarded office job for 1/3 the pay.

Manufacturing, distribution, retail, etc all require being in person except for a few jobs.

Obviously many could be done remotely.

Having an office to go to is actually a PERK, just like going to the bar to drink is nicer than drinking at home

You really want people sitting in their houses all day? People already have few friends. You want to eliminate the last social institution?
