One of the biggest revelations of the pandemic: how effective I am when I work in an environment of my choosing. I know, I know … so much has been written about this. I'm 36, and every office I've worked in has been open, so that was my baseline. But I had zero idea how much more effective, stimulated, inspired I could be until I got full control of my space ant time: I've grown, done, learned more in the past 2 years than many before. I've found an entirely new gear or two. I guess this is what people mourned when doors with offices went away … Yes, some of this may be the shock & euphoria of drastic change; some of it is obviously personal makeup/psychology. As you said, if where we land is "a good chunk of companies are OK with people working wherever/however, and another good chunk that aren't at least create environments for people who thrive differently," I'm happy with that. Of course, there will also be the "chunk who aren't OK with that, and still demand no walls or door" … more power to 'em, just not for me.
