WFH setup was a blessing as I had time to be my uncle's caregiver and guardian while he was battling C especially during its worst moments. I can't imagine being able to do all those things when I have to go back and forth to the office daily.

I would still agree with a once a week office meetup for better collaboration. Some of my teammates cut off their rental apartments and moved to their homes which is still Metro Manila but just a bit far away.

One disadvantage of having an established wfh setup, zero business trips (free intl travel). We used to have quarterly on site meetings in one location, but since the pandemic, it's already 100% virtual. Not good for Asia folks since it's usually us who adjust from the rest of the regions.
