Working from home is more stressful because you are always in the office. I didn’t see it but my wife did. That is driving me to retire earlier than I wanted.

AppyPappy hits the nail on the head on why I prefer going to the office. It's actually more stressful (for me) working at home because due to my role (Regional VP), I often have acrimonious meetings with clients (i.e. delivery or supply chain issues) as well as HR issues with employees. I just don't like bringing that negative energy into my home.

I current work from home most Mondays and on Fridays. I will actually not schedule any of the aforementioned meetings on days I am working from home because I like to keep a positive atmosphere here.

When in my office, I'm more in business mode and when I have those meetings, I can show a live ZOOM background of the skyline of NYC behind my desk as opposed to my home office or some fake background (which I always found rather cheesy). It just looks more professional.

Like others have mentioned, working at home is a better fit for those who are introverts or have a "nose to the grindstone" approach to their work. With my role, I need to be interacting with clients and employees all the time.
