yep, i don't care if they give me an entire palace. unless it's attached to my home, i am not going there. if my job requires me to be at the office, i will say "no" and then get another job.


That was my take as well.

But I've been looking for work for 4 months, and it's a hard line to hold.

Fully remote jobs have gotten scarcer, and there's more competition for them thanks to this year's layoffs.

Why on Earth would you accept an office attached to your home?! Seems like the worst of all options...


Before covid - we built a shed/bar/office/playroom that I thought I'd get to work in 1 day a week, which is what felt acceptable for whf at the time.

During covid having a place I can shut the door on at the end of the day, was amazing. I watched friends work from kitchen tables, while I had my own office in the garden.

For a while it did 'spoil' it as a playroom/fun room - but I pretty quickly learnt to make it work for me.

Having an office attached to your house is amazing (and is the largest drag for me returning to the office).


In English, they're using that sentence as a figure of speech meaning that they just want to host their own office, inside of or attached to their house.
