Well, having the office was nice because I like my colleagues. I'm lucky in that regard though, and as nice as it was to socialise at work, working from home is nicer. Not to mention much much cheaper by every metric. In conclusion fuck ever going back to the office, thank you for coming to my TEDx Talk.
I personally like it too, but not daily. I average 1-2 days in office now and it's healthy for me. See my coworkers, they know my name, we catch up, have our meetings, then I go home for a few days again. I've just learned everyone is different, and the company definitely shouldn't be telling people how to work, people are grownups and can decide themselves. (And if they can't, then fire them instead of punishing everyone).
However for this meme, another great way to get people off the roads would be....... trains
Some people don't have the space at home to set up a working area and really want to just go to an office that their employer pays for, and that's fine.
This is why coworking spaces exist.
I don't know in other countries but it is working quite well in France, you can get a subscription to the closest working space and have a desk, meeting rooms ... To work remotely.
I like that it gives a separation between home and work but without long commute.
