I think this is a significant part of the problem that has prompted the question.
It would be really helpful to have some insight into what is driving the move back to the office from people on HN.

I've posted about one of the reasons that some employers are itching to get their employers back in the office here[1].

- pbhjpbhj 5y agoSo they agree we should wfh? I'm kinda being facetious, but everyone is a couple of clicks away at the moment; whilst when we were in the office and video chat wasn't normalised then it would be a case of 'walk for a few minutes, find a meeting room (due to open plan offices) then chat and then a couple more minutes walking back to your own desk space' for lots of daily interactions. I prefer the later (in a large part for the exercise, change of scenery, chance for incidental meeting of people in the corridors, etc.), but the former seems like we're more together in some ways. I guess if anyone is wfh then we're "closer" if everyone is wfh (or behaving as if they were).
