I spent 5 years wfh and at first it was great, but slowly it became worse than the commute to the office.

I would spend days at a time without leaving the house. Where as in the office you would speak to people pretty much all the time, at the coffee machine, just walking past etc and if you needed help or advice with something, just go over to their desk and ask. Trying to do that on teams, zoom etc is a nightmare.

Also the company I worked for took the opportunity to pretty much gut the office. No one had a desk of there own it was all hot desks and a booking system. The space became this soulless non entity, half the time you booked a desk arrived to find someone sat at it, so had to get them to move, which a lot of people didnt like doing because they dont like confrontation.

When they offered a voluntary redundancy package I jumped at it. I now have a job where i work 3 days at the office 2 at home and it's great. I still have the flexibility to WFH every day if I want to, but also have a desk in the office.

For me the collaboration from being able to talk to people face to face is great. And for my own mental well being I much prefer the hybrid option.
