Before you refer to "WFH kool aid", it's critical to realize that the vast majority of jobs have been office-bound and that WFH wasn't even an option for most people who wanted it.

I know I'd rather be coding from a beach than in a fluorescent-lit cubicle (and I do). Even if it's more productive for Bill to barge into my cubicle than wait for me to respond to his Slack message.

Let's at least let our work culture hit a nice 50/50 split between office jobs and remote jobs before we damn the WFH movement too much.

Btw, the "kool aid" you're seeing is companies grappling with a pandemic. It's not like fanatical WFHers have spontaneously become ascendent in our society.

I don't think a 50/50 split is required to test out any new idea. All you need is a representative statistical sample.
