If someone were to ask me why I prefer WFH, my answer would be: bc I fucking feel like it. I am not obligated to justify my preferences to anyone. Ever.

  Totally true. And yet, if you do explain your preferences, your leadership can know their people and try to build an environment that works for them. Hard to blame them for not giving you a good environment if you've never been willing to tell them what "good" means for you.

    They ask because then they bring some of that stuff into an office and then claim the office is better than WFH. For example: One of the biggest things people pointed out at my current job was the long commute/gas money. So company offered to recompensate gas for anyone up to 50 miles or something and claimed now there was no reason to complain anymore... which is obviously untrue. I've seen this at 2 of the companies I've recently worked for where they do silly polls as to why people prefer WFH, make some small tweaks to the office that still come nowhere close to the convenience of being remote, and then claim there's no longer a reason to WFH anymore since they have made the office more preferable. Most people who are remote will never want to go back to an office, regardless of what happens.

      They might've done a bad job of it, but if they looked at how to make the office more comfortable and then implemented the suggestions, that sounds like a good thing? I like working from home, but I definitely want to see my co-workers in person sometimes. So if they can bring some WFH benefits to the office, that's great!
