Tech workers DO understand what they are losing.

They have done the cost/benefit analysis and it’s significantly better to WFH in many scenarios.

One clear example is people that commute and have children they would otherwise miss seeing during weekdays.

Should social interaction with Bob at the office really be prioritised over being there for your child ?

I view one of the purposes of technology as saving us from having to make these terrible choices. I.e. Being able to provide for your family vs. Seeing your children for more than 2 days in a week.

There are just too many valid use-cases for Remote/WFH.

Framing it as “you’re not smart enough to realise what you’ve lost” is naive and misguided.

There is nothing novel in the article, I would argue most people already understand these points well.

Exactly. I do miss seeing/conversing with my coworkers with WFH, but the positive effect it has had on my overall health and stress level cannot be understated. These "actually, you really want to go back to the office and like it" articles are a bit presumptuous.
