I am evangelical about it simply because my camp of remote first is not the default and as a result I have to make sure I am always pushing against in office, if I don't evangelize it hard I risk it not coming to pass. I also feel that many of the people that argue that they need the socialization that comes from being in the offive just really need to spend time outside of work finding a way to socialize and they could meet that need. As someone else pointed out tieing your friend circle to your employer seems like a bad move when the time comes to change employers. |

On this bit, some people find spending the day alone difficult, even if they have social outlets outside work. This shouldn't be surprising; historically the vast majority of people see other people during the working day. Being completely alone for minimum eight hours a day (and in practice more; the evidence is that people tend to work longer hours when WFH) is not a particularly normal human behavior and many people don't deal well with it.
Again, it works for some people, and that's fine. What irritates me is people (rather dishonestly IMO; they don't really believe this generally) pushing the line that it works for everyone.
