I think you underestimate how many people like the socialising in the office if you have a relativly short commute.

  I prefer socializing with the people of my choosing

  I used to like it. About 10 years ago I went into consulting from home. I've developed much richer friendships outside of the office and like to go out in the evenings with them instead of coworkers. I've also become more engaged with my local technology/software community. It's nice to be able to lose a client or job and not worry about losing my friends. YMMV.

    Now think about you when you did like it. What was your situation/life back then ? There are plenty of people who are you from that time. They do like going into office. So the argument here is that it is not one size fits all and just like there are plenty of arguments FOR wfh, there are plenty against it. YMMV

      No need to be defensive, I agree with you. Both sides are valid. But according to the OP employers want to kill WFH, not vice versa. I will say though thinking back to those times I was younger and more naive. I was a slave to that employer, often there until 8-9 at night. My life revolved around them. It wasn't healthy.

        No worries. I am also not arguing for office only and if employers are trying to kill WFH completely, that is a bad move and will not work.
