This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

We had a chance to make some radical societal changes. Working from home became socially acceptable. Commuting disappeared, and the environment noticeably improved. People had more time to take care of themselves and work on hobbies while also still getting their work done.

Then as soon as bans on working in person were lifted, companies decided they had to bring people back to office in order to justify the expense of the office building.
