I actually prefer it this way. 1. I do not need to attend any meetings in person, so that is good. No forced contact or seating near infected people. 2. Because I live close to work (less than 20 minutes), I do drop in to office after our daily standup to get 4-6 hours of focussed work. There are people around, maybe just 5%, maybe 10%, but some people are definitely in office probably because they all find it easier focus in an empty office than at home, partly because of other family members going in and out, and partly because you are so used to working at your desk. Having it be mandatory will make it hard IMO. [BTW I do not work for Google]
