I serve on the board of directors of a company that is futilely trying to get people back to the office. At a board meeting last year I was the only one opposed to a “return to office” mandate. To their credit, the other directors saw the wisdom of this and backed down on the mandate.

The "work from home" genie will never be put back into its bottle. This is a ramification of corporations being so eager to comply with the silly COVID lockdowns. It was shown that most people can do their work from home, which means corporations are now stuck with overpaying for unused office spaces (until their leases are up).

The corporations kind of did it to themselves by going along so blindly with the hysterical COVID fears of 2020 and beyond that our government pushed on us.

I personally hate working from home. As another poster mentioned earlier up thread, I prefer getting out of the house every day and meeting people. The commuting time doesn't bother me in the slightest. Now the one exception I make to that is that I work from home on Fridays (and sometimes Mondays). That is a nice way to extend your weekends a little bit. An option that did not exist for most people prior to the COVID scare.
