I feel crazy sometimes, because I'm the exact opposite. WFH has been a disaster for me. I just joined a team with a hybrid schedule (3 days in the office). I'm there every day, but it's pretty dead on the other 2 days. If they close the office and go remote-only I will quit on the spot.

+1 work - life separation is a must. And not everyone can afford a home office. Also isolation is a real threat.

I'm pretty sure few people are being forced to work remotely, it's an option.

If you are working remotely, you can move somewhere that you can afford a home office..

Depends on your pay.

Again if you are working remotely as a software developer, no matter whst your pay is, there is somewhere in the US you can afford an extra room for the same amount you are paying now unless you are already living in a rundown trailer in the middle of nowhere
