As of now, I’m feeling a little more optimistic that things will start returning to normal sooner than later. Human nature has a funny way of re-centering itself after periods of upheaval. At some point, I suspect working from home will slowly be seen as less of a luxury or convenience and become more of a hindrance. I actually started working from home right after college at a start up company that was and continues to be completely remote. This was roughly ten years ago when most people I knew still worked on site. The first few years were great - rolling out of bed in your pj’s, no commute, flexible hours. However, a few years later I realized how isolated I was and that I wasn’t meeting new people or building relationships. Face to face interaction is important for collaboration, project/business development and frankly just life in general. I understand that working remotely can be great for the stay at home parent, but from what I’ve been hearing lately, people really want to get out of their homes. So while the typical 8-5 cubical life may not fully return, I don’t think the supposed “post pandemic remote work schedule” will necessarily hold either. And I’m by no means an an extrovert, but frankly it’s been driving me crazy and it can be rather depressing to say the least.
