> It's different from people who prefer WFH because they don't care if the other guys also work remote or not.

But lots of remote-evangelists will say things like "If anybody is joining a meeting remotely, everybody needs to call in from their own separate computers". I might able to come in to the office but it still affects my experience.

People can join a meeting from their own computer in the office. They can still get your social time around the water cooler/break room/foosball table. But I see no reason that I should have to be miserable and come in to the office just because they want to see my face in person and yak at me when I'm trying to work.

I see no reason why I'm required to be miserable to enhance their "experience".

I worked at a "campus" where we all called in anyway. It wasn't that bad. Arguably better because if the meeting starts to suck you can read HN or play solitaire.
