Ultimately, the sentiments offered by others are what drive this home. I have said it before and I'll be saying it on Hacker News again: I have become very accustomed to working from home, and very little will motivate me back into an office. Even a huge pay bump would make it a difficult decision. I like the coworkers I've had, but the distractions of an office are excessive. I can go anywhere I want with WFH, literally anywhere - and my employer supports it. No amount of pitiful pizza parties and stolen fridge food will make me want to go back.
