blaming your employer for it is a cop out

If you want to be a tycoon you need to be present.

believing that a private office space is some big flex in 2025 or since 2005 strongly suggests this person has limited contact with the professional world or lives in grand island, nebraska where you get your PRIVATE OFFITH after two years of salesman status at the state farm walk-in next to baskin robbins.

i shower once a week (used to do so every day). i just wash my hair every day and shave so i look presentable on camera

i've worn a button up shirt maybe 15-20 times since 2018. haven't worn dressy pants or dress shoes once

i rarely buy new clothes and wear most things until they get holes/tears/etc.

i moved to a cheaper neighborhood to save on rent

haven't owned a car since 2011, haven't had to buy one yet mostly due to WFH

my employer does not track a thing i do on my work computer so i regularly take 2+ hour lunch breaks

on top of the long lunch breaks, i run errands in between meetings rather than before or after work unless i'm unusually busy

sold all my expensive watches

saved a lot more money than i would've if i had to work in an office

haven't met a single coworker in person in over 5 years

there's more, but i can't think of them at the moment

what does selling your expensive watches have to do with WFH?

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5767382&forum_id=2).#49224157)

expensive watches were part of dressing up and looking good at the office. i'd get comments on my watches when i did work in an office. but with WFH no one is going to see what's on my wrist. so now i wear a $45 Timex

But back to my point “work” is where you spend two extra hours getting home where your time is unaccounted for and your wife doesn’t know where you are so you can handle your “side businesses.”

WFH you can’t disappear for hours upon hours.

So the story here is that all of you guys that love the office just love being away from home? That is pretty depressing.

Similarly, "managing work" generally involves some sort of work product that is sitting on a screen. I suppose if you're 80 you can request that they bring print outs and manually mark them up but that isn't a material difference and I haven't seen anyone do that in well over a decade.

A bunch of senior execs WFH all the time here. You know who can't WFH? The janitor. If your job involves presentations, docs, etc. then you can WFH all the time.

IIRC, you're a law firm partner. Wtf do you do that you can't do from home?
