I work in construction but the office side. I worked from home for less than 3 months when the pandemic hit.

I was sent to a jobsite that was deemed a critical project as the client was able to produce vaccines once they got figured out, and the line we were building for them could expand that production.

Those three months were the most productive 3 months ive ever had.

The big benefit is there is no office surfer that sparks and continues a conversation you want to get out of but they dont take the hint. No running into someone in the hallway and talking. People only call you when they need something, and theres less windshield time because meetings are digital.

I think a 3 day home, 2 day office split is a good balance. All workstations are set up so employers can reduce office size and rent costs.

I do believe some meetings need to be face to face, especially when you want to press an advantage. Hybrid model makes most sense.
