Completely agree.
Am luckily in a postition where my org is 100% remote (for the time being), and I am cherishing it for as long as it lasts.
Many (most?) HN posts that discuss WFH seem to be from the POV of the employer/management, with topics such as:
* ensuring employee vigilance
* reducing employee wasted cycles (with the corner case provided often being workers with multiple side gigs)
etc...
(side note: seems like those comments are coming from temporarily-embarrased CEOs-in-waiting)
OTOH, looks like reviews of WFH from the IC level are often pushed aside in HN, and it may show a skewed appreciation for the true popularity and benefits of WFH.
While it may not be for everybody, for a great many of us, WFH is the best thing since sliced bread.
And to have that removed for X reasons (whether legitimate or not) will incur a significant pain for those of us who have aligned to (what I consider) an optimal productivity lifestyle. Let that pain be heard, rather than pushed aside as invalid.
