I don't have an answer for this, really, and I can see it. Still, I think if workers prefer a certain way of working, they aren't cattle, or just a number, and they should be allowed to make this decision for themselves.
I'm older, financially set, and have a partner with a good job, so I can't make that call for others. Part of how I got to this place was by leveraging professional relationships along the way. I was never more than a couple of phone calls away from something if I was starving. If I didn't have that I'd just be a house husband I guess. Or maybe a NEET.
10 years ago, I would have told youngers to get their ass back to work and never have lunch alone. Now that I'm rounding the corner towards retirement, I can't give that same advice in good faith.
