“But it also depends on the nature of your job.”

99% of my work is done on the computer which works as well at home as at work. Now at work 1/5 of the people aren’t here because they’re working at home.

High speed internet has changed things both in the workplace and with social media. It isolates us.

99% of my work is done on the computer which works as well at home as at work.

Even if I were to return to the office, my job would still be technically remote as the computers I do work on exist on a different floor than where my desk used to be (they have remodeled my workplace so I don't even have a place to go to anymore).

As a result, it's better for everyone if I just stay here and work.

It isolates us.

It also insulates us from those who get offended at the smallest conservative belief.

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.
