For many years before I was able to work remotely I thought many people didn't need to commute to an office. It's absurd and an example of how obbssed humans are with mimicking others.

Which part is mimicking others?
Most of the people I collaborate with don't live in the same place as me, so commuting would basically just be teleworking from a different location.

Driving to an office to sit at a screen and do work. I pushed to work remote and was ignored. This was the mid 2000s.
Now that remote work is more common companies do it. That's the mimicry

Gotcha.
The mimicry is also going the other way as firms and governments cut back on remote work, despite having basically no demonstrable reason to do so.

They are calling it 'Strategy Shift'. I've overheard one big CEO.
