I'm a bit torn. There are pros and cons for sure, at least when "the office" isn't just a cubicle you report to maybe with a neighbor you don't mind. The social aspects of the job (if there are any not on a phone/computer already) can be so much easier in person.

Though that's not a reason what so ever to force people back. That seems like a blatant attempt to keep the value of commercial realestate up.

I miss the office I worked at where I got a corner office (private!!!) and free lunches.

I do not miss the office where I worked in an open plan near the floor kitchenette and could hear people making coffee and chatting all day, or my coworkers on calls at their desks, or the keyboard clacking...

The social aspect is pretty easily solved with audio and/or video calls.
