At the moment there's essentially zero debate that having as many people work from home as possible is beneficial to the people, the environment, and the economy.
These articles are introducing FUD so that when companies start recalling employees, the opposition won't be as universal as it would be otherwise.

- s_y_n_t_a_x 6y agoIf we did then there wouldn't be articles complaining about WFH. Just let people do what they want. If you like WFH then find a company that allows it, if you don't, do the inverse. I don't see why there is so much hate against WFH when it's a choice (not including the virus situation). I would NEVER go back to an office. I've been WFH for 5 years now. You can certainly put a price not having to live in a rent-trap city. I bought and paid off a 3bdr house in a year because of low cost of living. I no longer pay rent/mortgage or commute. I see how some people wouldn't like it, but there are plenty of jobs for those people. P.S: a 30 minute commute is 252 hours of your year gone ($25,200 @ $100/hr) and $3-6k in gas plus stress. Do yourself a favor and start working on your office setup, you'll want to work remotely when you get older at least.
