Ngl it’s so wierd for me, because I like going to work more and I do work better when I’m at a workplace, but obviously its better for everyone else to get the option to work from home so :p
I imagine what it really comes down to for most people is free time. I used to have a job that was a 10 min walk from my house, and I genuinely enjoyed going to work. I’ve also had jobs where I had a significant commute and that just made me completely exhausted. You’re completely drained by the time you get home, and your whole day is basically gone. Working from home gives you a huge chunk of your life back.
As someone who has recently switched from computer work to “touching grass” work I find the whole discourse a bit one sided (I thought the same before as well but now I am experiencing it). Classist or elitist may be going a bit too far, but not everyone has the privilege of working from home.
This is not to say I am against the concept. I like working from home and I don’t think offices are necessary, at least in the way we’ve come to know them over the last few generations.
Of course, there are jobs in the physical world where you actually have to be present to do the work. I do think that normalizing work from home help everyone though because that reduces traffic on the roads.
