You said it yourself. HAVE TO GO. Lots of people HAVE to go to work, they hate it but they have to. I did that and I did bare minimum not to get fired, lasted a long time too. The job is still there when things open up.
But from home, I am excited to do work, I like it, I do great. A lot of people can benefit from WFH.
Young kids who want to connect and mingle are welcome to storm the city if they want to.
Are you slow...soooo many jobs in NYC are required to be at work. Yah they HAVE To go to work because it's an in person job
You are stuck in the mindset everyone has an office job.
Not peoples fault you choose a job and career you clearly aren't happy with and to live so far away from your job. You took that job. No one forced you. No one forced you either to live in LI and work a job in the city. Take some accountability for your life decisions. I hope your job will require you to go back.

But w/o those "office jobs" people going back to NYC, many of the in person jobs specifically the service industry won't exist. You can't eliminate 1.1-1.2m office workers in Manhattan and expect restaurants to not cut back staff. The vendors etc that setup shop outside trains that rely on the commuters. It's a huge domino effect. At some point if riders don't return the MTA is going to have to cutback on staff.
I had to go to work physically the while time but, I had to deal with less traffic and crowds. Thankfully my job is easy, and I can actually drive to it without parking fees, signs, etc...
I support people working from home when possible. People working from home incur less stress, less costs, the businesses incur less costs on overpriced real estate, and I'm sure there are some infrastructure and ecology related benefits to this as well.
When I go through Midtown Manhattan now, especially after a full year of the economy working mostly fine from home and, business being damaged wighout reprisal due to last June's riots, I ask myself "Why do we need Midtown?" It's overpriced, overcrowded, while at the same time being underserved and underprotected. Nobody really likes being there anymore, it was just some place people most people went to because they had to go to work.
Because it sounds like because you HAVE to go to work that you hope he does too. You said I hope your office REQUIRES you to go back. Why? He enjoys working from home and his employer has given him that option, so what's the problem?

Well if he wants to make fun of people who go to a job and call them sheep, I hope his employer will start requiring him to be back in the office so he can be one of those he just made fun of.

All of that sounds like it's time for the city to re-strategize instead of clinging to the past. Same goes for other cities losing office-presence.
