I would rather be in the office. WFM meant there were no boundaries. I work from 6:30AM to 6PM. I take breaks during the day but people expect everyone to work from home when they are home. I missed the whole gas shortage because I never left the house. People called meetings during lunch and after 5.
I moved 30 minutes away but I would have done it anyway. I love the commute on a 4 lane highway through the Appalachian hills. It’s beautiful.
I have been at my office the whole time, as have most of the bosses and staff. My company is small and never closed. We all have traditional offices or are sufficiently distanced from each other so whatever social distancing mandates went into place were observed without changing a thing. A few people worked remotely for a few months and then trickled back in last year. Some of that was caused by child care issues that had to get worked out.
