“I was talking to a potential lover from Hinge, and he proudly mentioned he enjoys going to the office seven days a week—even though his company offers a hybrid work model. Red flag," she wrote as the caption for the screenshot she shared of her chat with the man. 

Recently, the term "red flag" has been used to describe warning indicators of harmful behaviour in a relationship.

She also jokingly asked why a man would voluntarily report to work each day "unless there's an office crush involved."

Netizens shared their opinions about the woman’s perspective of the man.

One user commented that working at an office is when he feels "most productive." Additionally, he "assured" that there is no office crush.

“Your post is a clear example of how we aren’t so open to views that don’t align with ours. You may be someone who likes to WFH (be it to avoid seeing your manager or otherwise). That doesn’t mean everyone does. I, for one, though not of the generation you are from, am most productive when working from the office. I am also super excited to work with my manager to make things happen. Meeting people is my game. I feed off of others’ energy. And I assure you, there is no office crush in my two decades of work," the user wrote.

“I think you missed the last msg. “The office is just 2 mins away from home.." Who will not go to the office if it is just 2 mins away from home… People look forward to WFH just to avoid long-distance travelling through crowded trains or car or bike risking their lives to reach the office," the user said.

“Taking the screenshot into consideration and allowing myself to assume things like you did… He loves his work… A green flag and a lucky person whose work is something he does love," another one commented.
