Surprised to see so many people in this thread who don't want to go back to the office at all, but I do understand. I've been given the flexibility to define my own schedule with regards to when I'm in the office and when I'm working from home. I can't WAIT to go back: it's great having a dedicated work space, I like hallway conversations and in-person meetings, and it'll be AWESOME to be able to snag a hot meal at our cafeteria without having to prep or think about it. BUT, I'll probably never go in for a Friday ever again, and realistically I'll be working from home 2-3 days/week. So yes, I feel very fortunate my employer is extending that flexibility post-COVID.

Seems strange to comment that you can't wait to go back in a discussion about people who don't want to go back to the office. Surely you meant to post in one of the other dozens of WFH threads?

  Given the OP is asking for opinions on said issue, this seems incredibly normal? What would be the point of a thread where only people with an opinion/preference on one side post they all feel the same way? The point is to get a discussion and understand where everyone stands and why, at least it seems to me.

It's not a big deal, it just isn't the place.

        Suggesting following site guidelines is a far cry from "moderating the internet". I don't understand the need for hyperbole.
