Isolation is not always a bad thing. The nature of many jobs is analytical which is best done in isolation. People who tend to waste time at WFH are the same type of people who will waste time in the office.

It is not for everybody but too much management is too lazy to figure out who is and who is not suited to it. Thus, the mandates.

I actually know people who are so productive that juggle two WFH jobs. Neither employer knows about the other. They are different industries so if they are getting the work done, I don't see the problem. Some would disagree.

That’s me. I like people but group efforts aren’t what I do best.
