That's what a OnePoll survey in America has revealed.

The survey showed that people can't wait to head back to their physical workplaces in the new year.

Out of 803 workers polled:

87% want to head back to the office

Although there is a rise in confirmed COVID-19 cases related to the omicron variant -

48% expect to be back in person next year.

While 21% don't see themselves going back to an office.

So far, only one in seven of people surveyed have returned to a physical workplace.

Those who are excited reveal they want to go back so they can:

• Catch up with their co-workers
• Attend in-person meetings
• Sit and work at their desks again
• And wear business attire or their job uniforms

Others are thrilled about

• Going out for lunch
• Eating food from the canteen
• And commuting

Two thirds of people say that the thought of making small talk with co-workers they haven't seen physically in a while gives them anxiety.

Some even said they wish they could permanently work from home to avoid social awkwardness.

On a lighter note,

Almost 7 in 10 of all those surveyed feel positive that they'll get a better job in 2022

And a similar number feel confident they get a promotion at their current employer.
