I am back in office since June 2020. It was such a relief to get everyday to a car and drive to work after 3 months of home office

Lauren Proctor · Answer

It's actually really nice. I've noticed more people stay home but is it great to have the option.

The offices where I work have been incredibly careful. Auto-dispensed sanitizer stations everywhere, gloves for when you open the fridge, disposable mats to set below your computer when you work, a (loosely followed) all-day mask rule, etc.

They ran all their policies by someone at the CDC and then released a guide to explain everything to everyone.

People are a little different (everyone seems to talk louder than they used to) but overall it's good.

Hope your transition is smooth.

@yeshaswini if it will be required I will stay out of office but not mainly at home

Yes, I started in December 2020 and I have to say that sometimes I kind of miss the home-office life.

Yeshaswini · Answer

@cynthia_porter aah! I'm sure.. Hoping it isn't as difficult as it seems to me right now haha

Yeshaswini · Answer

@laurenproctor32 That's great to hear, Lauren! Indeed, I hope my transition is as smooth as yours :D Take care!

Edward Park · Answer

No, and I don't even want to think about it. I think I'm a WFH type of person. Hybrid at most.
