    True, and I was drawing on anecdotal evidence that I didn’t elaborate on in my original comment. While I know there are people who do not do well or enjoy work from home, I have yet to meet those people, all my coworkers and friend group are loving work from home.

    So a more accurate statement would have been, based on my personal experience along with with coworkers and my friend circle this study is B.S.

      Tbf there’s definitely some confirmation bias in there because a person who didn’t enjoy being remote probably wouldn’t seek that type of job

        True, but we were full time in the office before lockdown and at least half the staff is from before lockdown. Also our job listings are for hybrid positions since there is a rarely enforced office mandate.

      I was and am in a situation where WFM became voluntary because we outgrew the space while everyone was at home.

      We have no limit of volunteers to work in the office, we have multiple people who never left the office, they continued to commute and went in every day.

      So my anecdotal experience is the exact opposite of yours, which is why we don’t put a ton of stock in them and look at aggregates in studies. Making sense?
