Before the pandemic I would have firmly placed my self on the 'introvert' side of the spectrum, and if asked about the ability to work remote or from home would have said that would be my dream. Through the last two years I have realized that I am closer to the middle of the spectrum, and enjoy (and in a way need) the thoughtful company of my peers much more than I realized. However I also enjoy immensely the ability to work from home when I need to focus without meeting and distraction. And here is my realization (which really isn't very profound); most offices, even those who are "designed" to be nice for the workers, are awful places for focus work. They are however fantastic for the exploratory phase of work, where bouncing ideas happens and the boundaries and limitation of the work haven't been discovered yet. My dream now is the ability to work 2-3 days remote and the rest in the office. Thankfully the old money financial institution I work for allows this.
