I really don't mind RTO. As a mostly-remote worker right now, I would actually prefer a few office days each week; being right next to colleagues and able to spitball news, ideas, and other work (and non-work) stuff is great for my knowledge, abilities, and morale. With that being said, It's also nice to be able to get uninterrupted heads-down time, or just work at my own pace at home some times.
I think 3 days in-office and 2 days WFH is the sweet spot, at least for me.
Don't fall for the commute hype. Get a life that doesn't living at work or require sitting in traffic to fulfill the whims of management control-freaks.
