I would be interested to see survey results for this sort of thing based on office design and layout.
I see a lot of people here describing the return to work as not enjoyable because they would be returning to open plan offices in which they have no privacy, in which superiors and coworkers are constantly watching over their shoulder, interrupting them, etc.
In my last job I was fortunate enough to work in a fabulously designed office where each developer had a private office with a closing door. The accommodations were very nice. I looked forward to going to that office and would prefer to work from there vs. my home if given the choice.
My job before that was an open-office layout where people were essentially crammed into a substandard space like livestock. The office environment was one reason I left. If I was working there now? My preference to work from home would be far greater than to be returning to that office.
How much of the desire to WFH is driven by crappy open office design, put in place by companies that could easily afford to give each developer their own private office in a very nice building with amenities?
