CEOs do most of their time: meetings & talking to people. This is their job, they don't do Powerpoint, coding or anything else beside talking and meetings. Both is more draining if you do this 10h a day remotely. To my coachees there is a big push amongst CEOs to get people back in the office, they haven't defined their remote role yet.
I don't care about "us" going back to the office but I definitely want to go back to the office and I am far from alone in this.
Can you discuss why you want to go back to the office?
The latter can be done remotely but definitely isn't anywhere near as smooth or natural I find.
And truth is. Everyone is different. I can respect the person that prefers office environment. What we will see is greater flexibility and just less office space in the future.
The real winner outs of all this will be local communities and businesses.

I also miss the social interactions, discussion with colleagues is much easier in person. Lastly, I hope it will reduce the amount of video conferences that crept up considerably.
edit: Not OP obviously.
edit2: Note: Just to make sure, I know this is personal preference and I am perfectly happy with other people being super happy and productive at home!

I wonder why that is 🧐
That being said, I look forward to going back to the office. It’ll be nice to see people again —- few people bother to turn on their video on zoom anymore for anything other than one-on-ones, myself included, and that is starting to feel alienating to me. I don’t think it’s wise having a policy that you must have video enabled, though, it’s nice being able to sprawl out on the couch and get comfortable for a particularly long, boring meeting.
Edit: to address the actual contents of the article, I think below is a better read that doesn’t reduce people’s concerns about remote working to wanting to save sandwhich shops:

It seems lately that most accounts arguing in favor of going back into office immediately are throwaways. I wonder why that is 🧐
Edit: weirdly it seems to just be that specific emoji, others don't work
