Anybody actually looking forward to returning to the office?

Actually...the wfh period has shown that companies can still run with most of their employees working remotely...so why can't they continue doing it?

For management-related reasons mostly. Like you guys have discussed earlier, monitoring employees is a factor. And being able to meet each other is also vital to building teamwork and all that stuff, which is also beneficial to management.

From what I've read, some companies still allow wfh but they tend to be younger and/or work mostly with software rather than people.

Some of my colleagues raised concerns about returning to the office a couple of months ago so it seems like my company is going to slowly bring people back to office instead of 100% at one go. If enough employees make noise, management will listen.
