It seems like the vast majority of people are coming at this from the standpoint of "I know how to do my job, why do I need to be an office". This may be unpopular but you do it for the new people who need a Lot of company support to get on their feet. I remember starting out and how much easier it was to ask people questions in person over lunch etc. It's intimidating for a new person to sit in front of a computer and ask random people they've never met questions, really amps that imposter syndrome.
This isn't necessarily invalid but certainly isn't a strong enough of an argument to return to the office.
I have WFH since 2012. I started a new WFH job in 2021. I've never been to an office, never had trouble with training, made good connections with coworkers. I've been promoted already. I could not be this productive in an office. I've tried.
