Poll: Which do you think is more important?

I'm not really commenting the specifics of the story in the OP but just pros and cons as I see it.

Pros
- Able to save time and money on commute
- Able to be closer to family and children more hours of the day
- Company doesn't have to spend as much money on office space

Cons
- Less productivity (compare with time saved from Pro #1 though).
- Team bonding less strong

On a societal scale, the world experienced the negative effects of the lockdowns (which were unnecessary) and mental maladies are through the roof as a result (among MANY other negative effects). Does further isolating a person, not requiring them to travel at all for work, help in this regard? People are fragmented and isolated enough. I talk to many customers in my drive thru and the ones who wish they "didn't have to go into the office at all because I don't want to socialize" appear to be the unhappiest. Humans in general are getting more antisocial and the solution is not to cater to that trend, it should be to reverse it. We are social creatures, we need that interaction (even you, introverts!).
