My job transitioned to five days per week fully remote near the start of the pandemic in March 2020 and has remained that way ever since. I am SO MUCH more productive while working from home (far fewer random distractions from coworkers), and I'm significantly happier not having to waste multiple hours of my life every week needlessly commuting.
I'm also not convinced that there's any real value in having in-person conversations with your coworkers. My colleagues and I regularly meet and converse over both text and video chat, and I really don't see how gathering in a board room would add any more value to those meetings.
