I am still working full-time remote. There are definitely some social aspects of going to the office I miss, but I really don’t miss the commute or the shitty office politics. Overall I feel I am still more productive from home and happier overall.

I have had 2 employers tell me to go back to work in person.
They simply didn’t end up committing. The first job, they had us all coming in but didn’t even open the cafeteria.
The first, I have no co-workers at the local office as I am in a different country than everyone else on the team.
I’ll go back to work in-person if and when someone makes it really worth my while. Until then I get to use my own keyboard, mouse, and screens in a room that’s exactly the right temperature.
I work for a fairly large organization that is mostly centralized but all my immediate colleagues are distributed around the globe. So, continuing work-from-home is not that difficult for me and no one is demanding my return.
I insisted for years that I would be more productive working from home.
Many people I worked with disagreed with me.
The pandemic proved me right.
