I think work from home should be the norm and people who oppose it are just your managers who don't want to be obsolete, but I worked from home for 4 years from 2008-2012, before it was more common, and I basically drove myself crazy with loneliness and feeling out of the loop. This was partially due to bad circumstances personally, but after a few months of just your pyjamas you start to feel really sloppy and desperate.
I should add this was long before Zoom or any video meetings so that didn't help.
It's not for everyone, and I know what you're saying but "feeling sloppy and desperate" is certainly not a universal experience. As a single anecdotal example, I've been working from home for over 5 years now and personally feel like I get a lot more pros than cons from it. Sure, I'm lazier with my personal hygiene and don't bother to dress up (during the working day when it's only me who can smell me), but I still go outside and go to events and talk to people outside of work, I just have more energy left to do that in my evenings and weekends now ๐คท
I am not against working from home I just prefer working with my colleagues in the office
