We were remote and have recently been forced to return, but actually there's someone who is out because they have a serious medical issue and some other people just don't seem to be around for various reasons. I've really struggled being alone in a close-to-empty office and don't know if I can do this anymore in the new year. I am an extrovert and working at home was hard enough but I was at home. This is worse.

I would just stop showing up to the office until somebody says something. There's no point in commuting all that way for no reason. If anyone asks, just say that you were sitting alone in the office anyway and if nobody else has to be in office, why should you?

I would definitely talk to your manager and HR about this, as well as updating your resume to find something new. Hold the company responsible for your well being and if they can’t meet their employee’s needs, get out.

Is it mandatory people come in? If not then you’ll have to either learn how to work with those who don’t or find another job. It sounds tough but it’s the truth. A lot of people prefer hybrid or remote; businesses understand they have to adjust accordingly
