In my final job (unless I unretire) I worked the last year at home. Most of the people I had to be in meetings with were on another coast, so most meetings were zoom/etc anyway. We did have some meetings locally but not too often. We were just as productive WFH as in the office. What I missed however was social interaction, eating lunch together with my team, occasional movie outings, etc. Living by yourself and not seeing people most of the time is not great for everyone. I'd rather see it be optional. If you are experienced then WFH is easy to do, but for new people being in person makes it much easier to learn a complex business/code environment like we had. I could draw on a white board our crazy world much easier than try to explain it online. Also the insistence by some people for cameras in zoom calls drove me nuts, I hate cameras so I never turned mine on (also my bandwidth was never great so video often made the audio fall out, a good excuse).
