I left my job because they enforced WFH.

It went like this, paraphrased:

Hi boss, I don't think that avoiding any form of social contact is good for me. Since it's clear that this is now the new expected working environment, I am resigning effective immediately. Toodles!

I guess it'd be a bit like that but the other way around.

This captures exactly the split I've seen at my office. If you have a social life outside of work you are probably strongly WFH because why would you spend your social energy with coworkers when you have friends you like and chose.

But for people for whom work is life and what little social interaction they get is at work you're strongly RTO because that's your lifeline.

And our current CEO moved states for this job and he's lonely as fuck so our office went RTO.

For me it's actually been the opposite.

I enjoyed the social interaction in my job and it didn't really affect my ability to see friends and family after work or at the weekend.

Since WFH became commonplace most of them have moved out of the city so it's actually harder now because my friends live all over the place.

It also feels like people are less likely to go out in general now.

My comment was more about the fact that I just think that social distancing was a load of bollocks and that we could have just gone to work with some people WFH as before and gotten the same end result.
