[Baggers]

It's a very big subject, the working from home v going into the office... but it needn't be a 'versus'.

There has been plenty of good research into the entire situation with all manner of pros and cons on each side. And it varies from nation to nation, also.

Australia, possessing more introverts than extroverts (about 60-40 from memory), sees working from home pretty strongly supported. However, with Teams, Zoom and even Skype being common place, contact and connection with others in the office when working from home is still achieved.

Mrs Baggers, an extrovert, for example, loves being in the office and the physical connection with others, however, when working from home she is on the tech connection for a good few hours each day... she does comment, though, that she gets more done working from home as there are fewer interruptions.

We are living through a significant change in workplace attitudes and disciplines. Horses for courses. It'll take time. Still plenty of teething issues, and as Dodge points out, there are some organizations where working from home is just impractical.
