I see a lot of comments about pro WFH (family, more relaxing work schedule, kids/pets around) and against WFH (less collaborative, can't read body language, a quick IM is slower then a simple live question for next chair) and while Netflix mainly talks about them - it actually boil down to one thing only -> SEX.
Humans are a social animal and we like crowds. And with less physical work required then in past centuries jobs became more a brain exercise and less muscle required and with that means our brain requires more stimuli. And what is the easiest way to entertain brain? SEX. It's way more easy to work with a beautiful colleague alongside, it's more easy to take a coffee break and stroll through HR area to "cleanse the eyes" over "Janet" there. That's all about for those who hate WFH and are missing office. They can say a crap load of reasons why they don't like WFH but it boils down to one reason that absolutely nobody will talk about and that's SEX.
