Here we go again. The onsite crowd demanding that their coworkers fill in their socialisation and emotional voids. I hope employers understand that quite a few want back to office so they can slack and cheap chat with coworkers, maybe play petty politics a bit too.

The fact my post would get a response like this really makes skeptical of this whole WFH trend. Normal people don't write stuff like you did. What you wrote is so dismissive of others feelings and thoughts... it's just wildly inappropriate. It's like somebody who is trying to force an agenda.
It feels quite a lot like the kind of responses somebody might get when they pointed out issues with societies covid mitigations. You'd get the same dismissive, nasty tone.

Near the end of a year of forced WFH, I was pretty close to zero productive hours per day. I hated it. I would wake up crying. If having a few unproductive hours of chat per day with coworkers who also want to be in the office is what keeps me sane and working, then so be it. My employer seems fine with it.
(Thanks for reading this comment. This is a reminder that this comment was from my point of view and was about me. You may feel differently than I do! That's OK.)
