Worked remote 80% of my career. I understand the advantages, but here there is, I fear, an undervaluation of the advantages that seeing other coworkers at least a few days every week brings on the table. Especially if you are doing innovative, design work, to be on the same table from time to time, take the coffee break together, allows to "multiply" the ideas.
I definitely agree. The WFH zealots risk a backlash because they seem incapable of acknowledging that there are benefits of working in an office.
I still think if the commute wasn't a factor then working from home wouldn't remotely be a thing. Eliminating the commute is a pretty huge benefit though (unless you happen to live really close to work, which some people do).
