One pro about working with the rest of your coworkers in flesh is socialization. You get to talk with people during the day.
At home it's you, alone (if you live alone).
Of corse, some folks has it better working alone. I wouldn't have.
And, all work cannot be done from home.
Problem is, when you sit there with headphones all day, you won't do much socializing. Often all it takes, is just one colleague who can't make it to the office or who works at a different office...
Yeah. In that case.
There are many different cases, and stuff feels and works out differently accordingly.
Yes, socialising at minimal levels is a requirement
When I worked for Bell, they had just ended their WFH policy. I was required to be in the office every day. The rest of my team was still under the policy according to their contract, including my boss who was a 10 minute walk from the office, so they all worked from home. And most of my meetings involved teams in 3 different cities, not to mention the fact that it was Bell, so all meetings were over the phone with a screen sharing app. There were some other people that worked in the office, but they worked with different teams so I didn't interact with them beyond saying "hi" in the break room as I was getting coffee. But it was apparently very important that I be in the office.
Some days I really appreciate the fact that I left IT.
Fuck Bell
