Work from home has a huge list of tangible benefits to employees. It seems hard to argue against. Less time driving and travel costs. Freedom to take a breaks however you please. Fewer distractions (YMMV). More autonomy. Better office equipment (depends). That said, there's far less camaraderie in my teams with WFH normalized. Initially, people put effort into talking regularly. The effort has evaporated. Now talking only happens for project-related things. There is far less passive "team building". When we were in the office, there were many random events that I miss. Eating lunch with people, often from other departments/projects. Free food in the break room. Playing MTG with coworkers. Playing Smash Bros with coworkers. Random hallway discussions. As a naturally introverted person, I love WFH. As an introspective person, I think WFH has done hidden damage by enabling my introversion to an extreme degree. However, I think that's more of a strike against my personality than against WFH.
