I am under the impression you have no real-world experience as a Software Developer or maybe you have had the bad luck of being part of teams and companies that don't understand how Software Development Teams must work.

WFH has many (proven) benefits for personal and family relationships, it's safer as you don't put yourself on risk while commuting, you can manage much better the non-working time and it has been proven as a top-notch option to deal with stress relief because you are exposed to less stressing situations while you can invest the commuting time on other healthier, personal and family activities.

I feel sorry for you if you have only experienced the negative part of WFH because you have been working for business unable to understand how remote work must be managed, or because you have been part of completely unnecessary teams that are clearly not Agile.

Remote work is a methodology/approach that must be managed properly. Apply in-site policies for remote work is the recipe to failure. So, please, don't talk on behalf of other people just because of your poor experiences.

I will never work again for a company that imposes a non-sense WFO policy as far as there are other companies offering WFH policies (even getting a lower salary) because WFH is very effective and I value much more my life than working for someone that doesn't understand it.

Please get some real-world experience, and then come back to read your absurd post. If you get lucky enough to experience remote work as it should be, then maybe you are brave enough and have the valor to apologise to the entire community.
