I can work from home, usually. I did so effectively before covid and I had tons of fun and productivity. My former company, though, was horrible in their handling or WFH, a terrible combination of strict daily meetings but with zero follow-up/help and negative socialization (as in the interactions were all strictly work related and tended on the negative side, with one employer constantly talking badly about somebody else). Apparently I thrive in socialization, and that difference between good interactions in my first remote job and negative in the second made it night and day on my productivity. I had to change job because it was severely affecting my health. Just to say that sometimes the cause is not strictly "not being able to handle wfh".
