Remote Work May Now Last for Two Years

“With the latest wave of return-to-office delays from Covid-19, some companies are considering a new possibility: Offices may be closed for nearly two years,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“That is raising concerns among executives that the longer people stay at home, the harder or more disruptive it could be to eventually bring them back.”

“Many employees developed new routines during the pandemic, swapping commuting for exercise or blocking hours for uninterrupted work. Even staffers who once bristled at doing their jobs outside of an office have come to embrace the flexibility and productivity of at-home life over the past 18 months.”
