That was me. I worked in a place for 22 years that completely devalued WFH, and cancelled it entirely (pre-pandemic) with the Big Boss stating "We all know a 15 minute face-to-face conversation is better than a multi-day email chain". Then our organization collapsed under the weight of being "Agile" and laid off the entire group.

I'm glad they did...I got a substantial severance package, "retiree" benefits, and a much better fully remote WFH gig that pays better.

I would have stayed at the first place if it was possible to do so, but I'm much happier since they forced my hand. I'm certain I won't have to go back to an office before I retire.
