Let’s talk about one of the real reasons people don’t want to go back to the office: they don’t want to take a shit at work.
At home, the bathroom is private. Comfortable. Safe. No “I hope no one heard that” anxiety. No awkward eye contact with the receptionist that saw me enter the bathroom 15 minutes ago and knows exactly what I just did in there.
Meanwhile, in the office? It's stall roulette. Industrial toilet paper. The silent war of pretending no one else is in there.
If you're serious about bringing people back, skip the ping pong tables and cold brew on tap. Rethink how you people shit at work. Instead of large, collective, centrally located bathrooms, distribute individual, private, well-ventilated, well-lit, sound-insulated pods throughout different parts of the office.
Next level: add a bidet. Make it feel like home. Better yet, make it better than home.
I'm being dead serious. Make shitting at work a better experience than shitting at home and you'll be eliminating one of the unspoken reasons people don't want to return to the office.
People want dignity. Comfort. Autonomy. Even—especially—in the bathroom.
