All this discussion about work from home it really depends how your job is structured.
Not all jobs are structured , so that all you do is sit at a computer screen, and send emails back and forth , and revise documents online, and attend Zoom meetings. Some office jobs are like that, but a lot of jobs actually require you to actually interact with actual human beings in person.
Where I worked we had teams with members all over the country.
We physically met once a quarter—in mostly social settings like industry conventions.
We were able to recruit skilled subject matter experts from all over the country for our teams—huge advantage over being limited to a local market.
