I spent all of last week driving into work every day, and I've gotten spoiled from working at home - and traffic now is a fraction of what
it used to be!
I've been working in the office each day also. This is a departure from me working two days a week at home. I started back in the office fulltime as the vibe I was getting from my team leader was the days of working from home were soon to become the exception rather than the norm.
Not sure I'm 100% happy about that but as we roll into Christmas and the workloads ramp up I'm happy enough to be in the office just to be able to
keep on top of stuff etc.
I've completed an office move; it's a nice space. When people finally
end up going back into the office, it'll be nice. The desks are packed
in rows, for some time we'll need to have a blended office and 25% occupancy, then work a hybrid WFH/office environment. This pandemic
Sounds like my office, big rectangular shaped room, pods of 5 desks, four facing each other with a partition in the middle of them and one desk at the end. We have 20 in our room. It works surprisingly well. When they 'repacked' it I was skeptical but have realized it works quite well.
occupancy, then work a hybrid WFH/office environment. This pandemic
has finally put to rest those "people can't work from home if I can't
see them at their desk" management types, and people have learned to include remote team members into meetings now that we're all remote. I hope those lessons stick, and we learn from this pandemic.
I fear in my workplace they won't learn... time will tell.
