I hate everything about WFH. I like travelling to a different environment each day, interacting with my colleagues, being in a space designed for work (proper seating and desks, aircon), looking someone in the eye when I'm talking to them, feeling the bustle of the city centre when I go for a stroll at lunch. Working from home makes me feel like a widget at the end of an internet connection.

Then again I don't have children and I cycle to work so maybe that's the difference.

You are pretty much describing a coworking space or a good library. I don’t know if you own a house, but you might change your opinion once you’ll be on the search.

I haven’t seen a corporate space “designed for work” in years thanks to the cult of the open plan office.

Meanwhile at home I have a nice electrically-adjustable standing desk, an Aeron, an air conditioner set to the precise temperature I alone want it to be, and I can go to the coffee house downstairs if I want to hear people bleat about blockchain.
