I used to work for 4 years from home. My productivity went down, I was distracted all the time. I would never do that.

    I have worked from home for four years as well. Because I have self control, it has been amazing. It sounds like you need a babysitter, not a job.

    A bit harsh maybe on someone for enjoying to work in a different way than you?

    Not when these losers are trying to make work from home look bad. I'm honestly betting it's some middle management shill.

    Different people prefer doing things in different ways, that should be obvious?

    Someone needing to be constantly monitored to be effective isn't a different way of doing something, it is acting like a child.

    Me too. Seriously hit my mental health because I was feeling so isolated. Even just two days a week from the office was better, the best for me personally is 4 days in the office, one or half from home.

    My criticism towards most WFH set ups is that it erodes the unity of workers, making it easier for managers to pick on them. You end up knowing your coworkers less and therefore working less as a team.

    • again, my personal experience.

    Mandatory WFH isn't as good as optional WFH.
    After all it's being able to choose, what makes most people with "WFH option" happy and thriving.
    It sounds like you have found your balance between office and WFH. Now find a workplace that allows living that balance!
    All the best!
