I completely respect your position. Some people genuinely like the office life and it's totally fine!

Personally, I have never had any boundary issue with home being used for work. I have my own office room that is also my hobby room that I made as I like, so it's a very nice and quiet space, and I love working there.

Besides the obvious aspects of this post which are quite dumb, what that person misses is that by working from home I finish to work at 17 and at 17.01 I am free to go meet people. Cutting commuting time frees quite some time for personal life and not to mention working from home is associated with more flexible work too, like doing some chores during a break etc., which frees up even more time.

Same here. If I could I'd only WFH, but we only get a few days a week. I don't have an issue disconnecting mentally from work. However, I think a big contributor is I don't exactly hate my current job. I sometimes surprise myself how easily and quickly I switch off.

My TL on the other hand prefers the office, probably because they have two young kids, who can be quite loud and require lots of attention.
