29 here (still young). i am also way more productive from home, particularly because my job involves external devices which cant easily be ferried back and forth. The company i work for would see a drop in income i generate if i was forced back, 1 hour commute both ways, no lunchtime fitness habit, no time for morning wellness habits, and i wouldnt be able to put in an extra hour comfortably while i make food or wait for CI builds. All these would negatively affect my performance. agreed to socialization, i dont need daily face to face socialization with those i work with, we already slack and chat while we work. im against full/part time return to office, the only thing i would consider is optional social event days once a month or so (previously we had work events for all sorts of seasonal events) id go in for those sometimes, just to socialize with my fellows.
