> The biggest problem is that the people that work better in an office tend to see that benefit because there are co-workers there. And if half the people are working from home, the co-workers aren't there. So you can really only make one group optimal, and the other one suffers.
That is exactly what I noticed in 2020 mostly. The people who kept going to the office were almost screaming and crying on the internet about working in an empty office and basically begging everyone to come back and keep them company.
All this time we'd accepted that as the norm. Dare I say it, the world favored extroverts. And in 2020 for a brief few months, it didn't. It was interesting seeing the table flipped.
Of course that's kinda exaggerating. Lots of people are "fine" in either situation. Lots of places were closed for a while and even after, there was still a spooky vibe to it, so WFH wasn't quite as nice.
I love socializing and stuff. TO me there are other reasons I prefer WFH - for example, the business district my company HQ is in, is very VERY pedestrian unfriendly. It's basically a corner of 2 super busy 6-lane streets. Walking to get lunch is impossible. Getting parking is a nightmare. The commute to/from the office is awful. I don't even like the town the office is in lol.
