I enjoy the flexibility to work from home some of the time, but I also find real value in working in the office.

A lot of us work as part of a team. It's nice for a teammate to be able to work anywhere they want, anytime they want, but when I am dependent on work from them to complete mine and they are unavailable that's a problem. For WFH to truly be successful there need to be team agreements about how to handle this. Me being able to just walk up and destroy their flow is no worse than me not being able to proceed if they aren't available.

Some of us (myself included) would like to have some amount of separation between work life and home life. The first few months of COVID confinement felt freeing, but over time I got annoyed that the room I went to to have fun on my computer was my "work" location, and every night when I went to go to bed I walked by "work" and on the weekend, I walked by "work" all the time or used my computer at "work". I, for one, would like this not to be every single day I'm at "work"
