  I work with a few who prefer the office over work from home.

  It does allow for a more clean break between work and non-work mindset.

  I find it helps maintain a more healthy work-life balance.

  Plus, I work on hardware, so it’s not like I can do that remotely most of the time anyway.

    I dont know if I agree with the work life balance.

    Shower, groom, dress and commute starting at 6.30am, work 8.30–5.30 and commute to 6.30/7

    or work 8.45-5.15ish and maybe spend an extra hour or two coupla times a week?

    Huge difference.

      I think I may be the only person on the face of the earth with no preference on this. My commute is immaterial, the office about 2k away, working from home is kind of a drag but I don’t have to get dressed and can keep the household going (which is part of why it’s a drag) online meetings suck even more than in person meetings, otherwise fine to work remotely. So when we were working from home, I was fine with it, then hybrid I thought would be the worst of all, no, it was fine. Now they say come in at least 3 days, I am going to put away the home workstation and just work at the office, reclaim the space at home, that’s fine too. It’s pretty much the same job either way.

      My team moved to fully remote a month ago. I’m loving it so far.

      Getting to see my little girl throughout my day makes me feel like I’m not missing out on watching her grow up.

    I enjoy office work more than wfh because I genuinely like the people I work with and I think we riff off each other way better in person

  I have only ever worked on-site jobs, so I am very used to it. The main plus for me is interacting with my co-workers. You run into the occasional jerk or someone having a bad day, but usually it is a great way to learn new things and gain different perspectives.
