  • Commuting: Expending my time, effort, and resources for an activity required for work but not compensated for it.
  • Office Culture: Can be hit or miss. The hits are great (as you pointed out), however the misses are oppositely as bad.
  • Schedule: Life happens. When you have to wait a week for the cable company to come fix your service, then wait for 4 hours...and they don't show up. Well, you did not schedule the next day morning off from work so now you get to wait two more weeks 'cause your 1/2 day of vacation needs approved.
  • Child care: The flexibility of WFH makes it much easier to do the upbringing tasks.
  • Craftsmanship: Craft workers have (or use to have) workshops. I am a craftsman, my workshop is my desk; that desk happens to be in a room attached to home.

That all being said; I feel like WFH vs Office boils down to 'right tool for the right job' decision from management.
