Agreed! That's an ideal kind of setup. Total conjecture but the people who I have seen struggle with WFH are the same people who don't have a social group outside of work, so WFH ends up meaning no social life and they become very lonely and isolated as a result. For people who do have that social group, they tend to want to get the work done as quickly and efficiently as possible so that they can then spend time with their family and friends, ie the people they want to be around, not the people they have to be around to make money for their employer => themselves. With family and friends you can talk about life and have fun. With coworkers, often you talk about work or things indirectly connected to work...
