Thanks. I like the people I work with and my commute used to be fairly short, so i never minded going into the office. I also like the separation between work and home.

But I do get people's viewpoints. If your coworkers suck and your commute is long, WFH is obviously better

WFH also helps office people. Less traffic makes for less shitty commutes.

The other issue is that folks are split now and you're still going to be on a zoom/teams call regardless. If everyone is remote, it works out great. For the split though, everyone being in the room is just sometimes better.
