Yeah there's nothing better for mental health than spending 2 hours a day in a car to sit in a dark windowless room for 8 hours with headphones. I went back to remote work this past fall and it has been such a massive boost to my mental health. I spend a ton more time with my family and friends. I take a long lunch every day to spend with my daughter. Never going back to an office.

It sucks that this was your office experience, but your experience is not universal. I commute around 14km taking around 25mins, or considerably less when I take my motorcycle. My office is a large, vibrant building filled with interesting people.

WFH is challenging for me, with two young kids and not enough space. I feel bored and isolated spending so much time alone.

Woah. 14km in 25min is 33.5km/h. What is your mode of transport, beside motocycle? Who commutes that fast anywhere in the world? Then you said "considerably less when I take my motorcycle". Are you traveling on average > 50km/h during your commute? That is incredible in the modern, developed world -- extremely rare.

Wouldn't it be amazing that each person in the team could decide where to work? I could work from home and you could work from the office. Win-Win.

With two young kids a motorcycle commute seems like something to avoid.

Don’t talk him out of motorcycling please, motorcyclist are one of the best sources of donor organs we have these days…

similar for me, 8km commute (~15 mins), at home I am alone and don't have concentration to work, in the office I am with people and environment makes me to easier to do my job

Why would someone choose to live an hour car drive away from a place they agreed to be 5 days a week?

Usually that's because it's the closest job that will pay their current rent, but won't pay the rent of a place that's closer. Almost nobody "chooses" that.
