At this point working from home has become some kind of weird religion that refuses to accept the truth.

  People more consistently work seriously and assiduously in an office.

I was working from home long before the pandemic. I definitely don’t worship it but I do love having time with my kids and surfing before work instead of commuting. I still get my job done and employers seem to be pretty happy with me and my friends who are like me. What is the truth you speak of?

  That you should be forced to have a miserable commute, spend less time with your family and be a happy little worker drone. Oh and you'd thank management each day for allowing you to spend your precious little free time raking in profits of which you will get a share in form of a salary, yes, but a much smaller one than the work you contribute should entitle you to.

I took a fully-remote position a month before lock-down started. Didn’t ever think it was a possibility before that position, but those positions have been out there for a long time. It works really well when companies/departments are setup to do it that way. More people are now being clued in that it works insanely well with the right setup and the right line of work. Even with RTO and massive lay-offs, we’re just going to see more start-ups coming around that are completely remote. Tech-giants can keep in-office. Things will shake out over the long term. I’m personally not opposed to being in office, but the benefits of remote are many.

Our team is global, working from home maximizes our timezone overlap, plus my company gets 2 hours out of me for free everyday because I'm not sitting on a train for that time. Those are quantifiable benefits, what is the truth that you are alluding to? If it's so compelling, please provide details.
