I've gone back and forth between consulting and working full time in an office for the last ~12 years of my career so I have a good amount of experience with both WFH and working in an office.
I prefer an office mostly because unfortunately the only way to make some people "behave" and work together is actually by forcing discipline on them. My biggest frustration is the type of person who only values their own personal productivity to the detriment of the team. The type of person who joins a "useless meeting on mute" then after whatever time period produces output that wildly varies from expectations because listening to others is beneath them, and they're too smart/disinterested to ask questions about what they're building. The type of person who replies to messages hours and sometimes days after you message them because they turned their notifications off to "focus" and never bothered to check them after. The type of person who you have to message about everything because they can't be bothered to document anything they do (never updates tickets, never comments their code, doesn't write readmes etc). The type of person who writes tests that assert 1 = 1 for the sake of adding tests like their team lead asked.
I don't know OP personally, but I get the impression that they're exactly the type of antisocial person I'm thinking of.
