Is Working From Home dead?

It seems that the last of the holdouts at my place of work have been forced back into the office for 2025. I'm hearing similar things from friends in their jobs. This also looks like its happening overseas too. Just last week a friend in London said after the Christmas break everyone was expected to be in office. My sister works in the Gulf and they are only allowed 15 wfh days per year after having been 90% at home for 2023 and half of 2024.

It looked like for a period there that WHF was going to be the norm going forward. Seems like a lost opportunity, for the sake of perceived productivity, but moreso a kind of pettiness. It never effected me personally, as my job is out in the field and wfh was never a possibility.

How many out there still living the working from home dream?
