I really despise being forced to go back to an office.

I get less sleep in that I get up a full two hours earlier.

It takes minimum 1 hour to get to the office, and minimum 1.5 hours to get back home.

I will end up doing exactly what I do now, but in a focus room some 30 plus miles away.

It's a loss of sleep, productivity, energy, focus, and time.

On the other hand, I don't want to get fired. And there's the unveiled threat of withholding any career advancement opportunities if I don't submit. 

I despise it.
