Very bimodal range of responses! People are either loving this or are having the worst experiences of their lives. Seems that the key driver of whether people are enjoying this or not is 1. whether they are still employed and 2. whether they have a life outside of work. The people whose only friends are co-workers and who wrap their entire identity up in their work are probably in a pretty bad place right now.
Personally, I'm in the "love" camp. I have gotten ~5 hours of my each day back due to not having to commute, which is 5 more hours for my family, my hobbies, outdoor activity, etc. It's great. I'm getting so many things done and fixed around the house. Making a lot of progress on wood working and metal working hobbies. Taking time to exercise and get outside more. My work schedule has remained pretty much the same but minus the commute it's like I have a second life to fill with things to do! I'm an extrovert, so I thought WFH would be a real bummer and drag, but the benefits are vastly outweighing the drawbacks of fewer human interactions.
