Yeah, I had been working from home the past two years before the pandemic, and I was sticking with this job longer than I wanted to because it was near impossible to find a new remote job. The only reason my job became remote work in the first place is because the parent corporation was trying to cut costs everywhere and reducing its real estate footprint and closed our office. Most of the offices they closed they just laid everyone off, but we had enough business that didn't transfer well to other departments that they let us keep working remotely. I was willing to go in to work a couple of days a week when I was looking for a new job, but I was not eager to do it every day again. Between the commute and the hassle and cost of having to take our dogs to and from doggy daycare everyday it didn't seem worth it, especially when I knew I could do my job from home just fine. I'm glad the pandemic normalized WFH a bit more and I don't want to see everything revert back to 'you gotta physically be in work, each and every day' once we're past it. It's fine if being in an office is an option again, sure, but I don't want it to be the only option. Also, I feel like I have to speak up about my preferences on HN whenever this comes up because it seems like the majority of people are pushing for everything to go back to in-person, and I don't want people to assume everyone thinks that way.
