I think I’m in the majority when I say that I prefer WFH but honestly, working ONLY from home is not something I like. I can work for a week or two in remote but then gotta spend a day or two in office. Naturally, it depends on a number of variables, like personal character and the relationship with the other employees but in general I think most people fall in my category. Having the option for both is the best possible solution.
Maybe. For me personally, I'm glad I had the experience of what it was like to work in the office for two weeks when I was in between projects recently, because it helped reconfirm that yeah, I hate going to the office.
It was good to see people in person, but everything else was a pain in the ass, and the office is such a sterile and boring place (pretending it's not, with an arcade machine, shuffleboard, a small stack of board games, and a ping pong table -- none of which anyone ever uses), with lighting that seemed to suck the energy out of me.
I'm going to the quarterly party in two weeks (for the first time since I started working a couple of years ago), but I feel like I'm really forcing myself. It's just so inconvenient to head downtown from the far suburbs.
