Not everyone here is the same, and I've made sure anyone on my teams isn't subjected to this one average, but so many people in general have been. Many days in the last year I have gone without food or water all day at work. Some days like today are OK. Others are on meetings or putting out fires without a break from 9am until 7pm. Never an issue at the office pre.pandemic and not good nor sustainable. I enjoy WFH sometimes but not others. I've been finding that many people are now getting fatigued from this. Its a psychological/cultural thing, but people use WFH as an excuse for being ridiculous with meetings and schedule.

^ This. I've experienced similar things in my pandemic work, and it really depends on the industry, some jobs are easier to do WFH than others. I just know that long term I'd be looking for a role that was either part-WFH and part-in office or full-time in office.
Maybe it wasn't accurate to say only introverted people enjoy the 100% WFH model, but I think it becomes harder to build work relationships and a steady culture all over Zoom calls.
