>>The worst part is that anyone who wants WFH can have it, but I cannot have what I need.

Some employers are mandating back to office, so this option is being taken away. Those that prefer to WFH are not able to have what they need/want.

I'm always curious why those who like to work in the office are opposed to letting employees choose what they wish to do.

>>My job is still 100% slack and zoom with everyone else in their bedrooms. WFH makes me depressed.

I feel that most WFH proponents are in the minority, or on the spectrum of wanting to have the option to go in sometimes. So hopefully you won't be 100% on Slack/Zoom if employees are given the choice.

I think it's because they know that a lot of their coworkers will choose not to come into the office anymore, so the office will feel empty and that will make them feel lonely and sad.

That was probably true during the pandemic, but anecdotal conversations I've had with non-tech colleagues and friends surprised me by echoing what many in this thread are saying: that they'd like the option to go into the office on certain days, but not necessarily 100% either way.

It feels like the true minorities are those that that are 100% in either direction, except that there seems to be a higher percentage of leadership teams in the 100% minority.
