I know I'm in the minority, but WFO works great for me.

My office is in walking distance of my home. I get great office perks (lunch, coffee, quality meeting rooms, good desk and workspace). And having a second space for work that is not my home is great for my mental health and WLB.

All of my meetings are still video conferences. Doesn't move the needle for me.

I choose to be in office 5 days a week even though only 2 are required, and it's been great for my productivity.

WFO in a shitty office is still a shitty experience, but an actually good office space is a productivity boost IME.

Who still has good offices? Seems like the world is steaming full speed towards miserable shared hotelling desk situations.

You are definitely in the minority ;)

IMO the commute is the biggest problem with RTO - why must I spend >1hr of _my_ time going to/from an office when I can do the same work at home?
