I definitely know everyone can't work from home, I've got a couple coworkers who can't focus there because they got kids, or a spouse who works from home and takes meetings in the one office, or they need the social interaction. But, wfh saves gas, saves money on commute, allows saving money on childcare, more flexibility with doctor and dentist appointments, and has tons of other benefits. It's got lots of benefits, especially in cities with tons of traffic. Having it be a choice seems like the best option all around.

All with ya! Mandating RTO is a bad strategy, companies will lose top talent. But, as I said, there are benefits to getting together in person now and again.
