I am all for working from home but i think its disingenuous for these articles to not include which jobs and industries it applies to.
I can do my job entirely remotely but there are clear times when in person collaboration with office colleagues and tradies benefits both my work and theirs. (Professional construction industry)

I think some industries are definately benefit from on site/office work, and some people/personality types that thrive in person or benefit from the mental health benefits of social interaction when they might otherwise not have any.

I love these results, i just think there needs to be more nuance in the reporting.

And those folks who must be in person should benefit from the lower traffic letting people who can work from home do so.

Ask any tradie what driving during Covid was like.

The best setups match tasks, roles, and personalities. Hybrid patterns serve hands-on work or intense collaboration weeks, while full-time home setups suit deep, individual projects. The point is fit: policy should respect job realities and human needs, because alignment prevents friction and protects momentum.
