I think I land in the middle, some of the pls fix type of work is better suited at home, but in terms of the day. I think being in the office is better.
If it was up to me, id have employees work during the day at the office and if there was still necessary work, I’d have them finish at home.

I 100% prefer being at home and also think I’m more productive at home
Granted I already have rapport with my team and think in person it’s easier to initially build in person, so I fully understand and support people and companies desires to not be 100% remote (but think mandatory 3+ days a week in office for everyone is overkill)
Medium to long term if WFH flexibility remained, I think many of the structural reasons why some will say they’re less productive at home as a rule will be mitigated (ie they’ll make sure they have sufficient home office space and kids will be out of the house and back in school)
I always found plenty of distractions and interruptions working in a open office / cubicles / bullpen situation
Not to mention the dramatic quality of life improvements from better diet, more sleep, ability to exercise in quick breaks, etc
The only people I know that want to go into the office are first years that just started and people with young kids. Other than that, I would say pretty much 100% of the people I know want to continue to work from home
