Work
To stop the spread of the novel coronavirus, and subsequently, its mutated versions, many companies allowed their employees to work from home indefinitely and made changes to their long-term office structures to adjust to the new situation.
As described by Matthew Prince, chief executive of Cloudflare, “the pandemic was effectively the largest “work from home” experiment ever conducted in human history … I think we’ll see these shifts last well beyond the immediate fallout of the Covid-19 outbreak.”
Several months into the whole work-from-home “experiment”, some realized the lack of interaction with colleagues has affected their productivity and well-being while others found it perfect for their lives as they no longer wasted their time and money on commuting.
Several months into the second year of the pandemic, most workers are trying to find a balance between home and office work, working at home for a few days and then switching to office mode for the rest of the week.
