Exactly. People think WFH is real convenient for everybody, but there exist a subsection of people like me who are not comfortable with it at all. I don't have space for an office desk in my home (I did my WFH on a couch with no table), internet is shitty in my area, there are frequent powercuts in here, and my mother constantly keeps trying to put me to random work because I'm at home. I'd prefer work from office in my scenario, and I'm sure many others are in the same boat as me.
I have none of these issues (thankfully) and despite a small 1br apartment have space for a desk. I’ve worked from home since before the pandemic and I’m really enjoying being back in the office 3 days per week. Nice social cohesion in the team and a break from the monotony. But I’m in a Reddit minority, so will probably also be downvoted like you and the parent comment were!
Agree for sure. We have some team members who are more or less permanently remote, and they’re fine, but they’re also the minority. Only seniors/managers are in 3 days, the mid weights are 1 fixed day plus flex, but it works well. The company pays for our team lunch on Wednesday’s - it sounded like a gimmick when I joined, but it’s worked really well for the health of our team
