Not the OP. I understand my situation might be a bit specific, but I'm a single guy living in a small apartment in his very early 30s with not a lot of friends and family (important point that my commute to the office is a 15 minute walk). We basically have an unlimited WFH policy, but I still like to spend at least 2-3 days in the office as I've noticed it has some strong benefits. There might not be exactly 10 of them, but for me it's definitely enough.

- It's something that makes me leave the house - I've found that being around people has a positive effect on my mental health and general wellbeing - As I live in a small apartment, I don't have the desk space for a multi monitor setup I would prefer - The coffee is just way better than the one I am able to make at home - It's an occasion when I have to look presentable, so I'm taking better care of myself

So going forward, we need to realize people are in different situations, situations can change and if the employers care about their employees the WFH option needs to stay.
