I have absolutely gained weight. WFH has not been good for us as a society.

That’s all on you for gaining weight. You have breaks in the day to walk, do push-ups, pull-ups, treadmill, bike, etc. Throw in there having a kitchen to make a healthy lunch as well.

I’m the reverse, but…..
I started out like that. I would get out of bed at 7:50 to login at 8 and literally be in PJs.
Now I get up before 7. Shower. Dress for the day and make it a point to feel good and be productive.
I’m down to my lightest weight in nearly a decade and it’s because I eat 100000 times better being at home compared to eating lunch at work.
But yes it can 100% be a negative if you aren’t careful

To me this is a classic case of curing a symptom and not the disease.
Last summer I was able to work from home 3 days a week and I lost 20lbs. because I was able have more time to exercise, spend my with family, etc. In December, when my workload doubled and they took us down to 2 days a week at home (in many weeks I get 1 day), my time for the gym lessened so I stopped going. My stress levels went up and thus so did my weight.
The real issue in many corporate entities is that they overwork, under pay their employees.
My boss still has times where I'm told to "keep people busy" versus letting them do their job as efficiently and effectively as possible. If they finish in 6 hours, who cares? The job got done.

You don't have to sit in bed and eat all day while you work, you can sit in an office, get a standing desk, exercise in between calls, etc. You could say blue collar work is different but it's impossible to do blue collar work from home anyway.

I assume it would increase social isolation?

I hate that excuse. When the pandemic started, I remember I said "I'm not gonna exercise, it's 'unsafe.'"
What I quickly realized is that I was just being lazy and using the pandemic as an excuse to not exercise.
If you want to stay in shape, let me promise you, work from home is actually a good thing. Because, instead of sitting at your desk at work staring at the wall for an hour doing nothing, you can actually go take a quick run/walk/bike ride.
It's all about your attitude.
