You may not be working at a place where remote work is part of the culture. When everyone is remote, the tools and processes are built around it and it no longer feels like a “pain in the ass”.

Exactly - in my organization, 9/10 times coworkers from the same floor of the same building join the zoom/webex rather than walk to the meeting room.

In that culture, being home 2 days out of 5 is no problem. Being 100% remote (like some of our folks) seems to work out fine (though I will admit being 100% remote as a manager is not as feasible).

We all wear headsets and despite a somewhat "open" office layout, it manages to work out decently (thru proper usage of mute and pausing screen).

In my experience, even in those places (I've worked in two so far), it's still a pain in the ass.
