You could also reverse that. All the people who work from home have a house with a separate room to use as homeoffice. I live in 50 m² flat, my homeoffice is my bedroom. Tiny desk, one monitor. Here in the office I have a huge table with 2 monitors, the electronics lab and the workshop is right behind me and my team sits here. Not all jobs are the same and not all people are the same. There is good reason to like working from the office. The fact that you prefer working from home doesn't mean that only people with private office at work want to work from the office.

You can have a proper desk and any huge monitor (or three monitors) just fine in a 50m2 flat...

  Sure, just have to kick out my partner. Also, what's the point your are trying to make? coffeefirst implied that only people with private offices at work want to work from the office. I gave some counterpoints explaining that there are other good reasons to work from the office. I like working from the office, and I don't have a private room there. I'm all for remote and hybrid work, but some comments here a bit over the top. Live and let live, why is it a problem for you that I prefer to work from the office? I bend over backwards to make sure the remote people on my team can work from home, even tough this can get pretty annoying if you do hardware.

    Sure, I tried to caveat "almost everyone" and "home office space quality varies wildly." Of course, if you don't have the space at home, or have a toddler running around, or specific hardware needs, that all makes perfect sense.

The thing is, the call isn't for flexibility, which I think very few people would have issues with. The call is for everyone to return to work. One side of the argument allows for the possibility of people working in an office if that works better for them, the other side of the argument insists that everyone does the same thing regardless of suitability.

  That is not what I replied to and that is not what I am calling for. The "one side of the argument" that I replied to, was the accusation that only people with private offices want to work from there rather then from home.
