So true.I work for the government. We had a zoom call the other day in which they said: 1) they are still formulating a plan for office return; 2) the plan would be phased so that not everyone would have to immediately go back; 3) we would get 30 days notice before needing to return to the office; and 4) pre-pandemic work-from-home policies were being reevaluated and were likely to become more permissive going forward.
Putting all that together I’m pretty sure I’m never going to the office again.
We co-locate with our government clients. Some of my counterparts I havent seen in over a year. I havent missed a day, and we were full back to work within 4-6 weeks of this thing starting (masks and social distancing). We've been back 100% without mask or social distancing for over a month now. They still cant find their way back to the office. . The craziest part is they approve our Covid plan making sure its compliant with the latest guidance. They approved us full back to work, but, cant figure out how to do it themselves.
