I've been going back in to work 1-2 days a week and find it's been insanely productive and had allowed me to reconnect with coworkers in a more effective manner. I was previously sold on 100% WFH but now I understand the importance of some face time. That said, I will never voluntarily come back 5 days a week. For me, the office is for discussions, socializing, and working out problems in real time. Home is where I get actual work done. That would be different if I had an actual office at work, but I don't.
Another factor to consider in the rush back to the office: gas prices may dramatically spike depending on the situation in the Ukraine. It will likely be a significant driver of inflation (and stagflation) and may keep folks from willingly commuting at pre pandemic levels.
