There are also other jobs which truly benefit from in-person interactions, for example sales people basically are basically fueled by it.

And in my experience there is a minority of people, also developers, who really enjoy working at the office, or don't do well at home.

Good managers would be busy figuring out what their people actually need to thrive and know that it is not the same for everybody.

In this case, I really hope forward thinking companies will destroy the competition and scoop up all the displeased talent that is forced to return to the office. Insofar as we have a free market, the problem will then sort itself out anyway, even though the road to get there might be ugly.

> sales people basically are basically fueled by it.

The best sales people I've ever worked with basically never showed up at the office other than to print off contracts and drop off signed ones. Most of their day was spent meeting with people in person. Rarely they were on phone calls.

I guess if you're trying to land clients in other states or other countries, you're probably at the office but you're not socializing with your coworkers..
