i was out of the office for exactly six months until i went in nights last week. alternating weeks until my galaxy brain managers get bored of that and smoosh us all together. plexiglass sheets ain’t gonna do poo poo. it was some fun cognitive dissonance to see death notices in my inbox right next to messages where managers were sucking their own ducks about how minimally impacted we are.

my brother in law had some friends over to help him set up furniture for his move, maskless, for hours, then went back straight to his (elderly) parents where he's crashing during the move. fuzzywife is super mad and badgered him in to testing tomorrow.

we're not even sure if we're going to bother re-upping our lease on our vancouver office. we might end up just shoving everyone's PCs in a warehouse along with everything in our stockroom and lab and giving it some fibre and calling that good enough

i get to spend all day every day with my family and actually see the kids grow up, i was saving around $1000/mo on babysitting until the missus went back to work and two is too many to handle on my own while trying to "work", so now im only saving $600/mo, i dont have to drive ever and i can dodge any and all social interaction that i want to with the valid excuse of "im not comfortable given the current global situation" if i dont feel like it that day (re: everyday)

More people seem to be itching to get back and I think some of the new full time remoters haven’t thought how things will change when most of everybody else is in the office together.

i think a lot of companies are seeing the amount of money theyre saving on utilities and in some cases rent and are realizing that wfh is the future

i dont expect at least in the software world there to be a huge push to return since by and large the main thing that is burning people out isnt working from home but working from home while helping their kids distance learn or entertain their too-young-for-school kids instead of having daycare/babysitters handle it

startup idea: if there are gonna be a bunch of tech companies hiring new grads into wfh positions, have your company take some of their signing bonus and turn it into a proper desk, chair etc. to have a productive wfh setup

work with the companies doing the hiring to offer it directly as a signing bonus

i thought commercial leases included utilities

and are multi-year so they're just paying for unused office. it's driving my boss absolutely bananas

actually this seems like it has the potential to be profitable so is probably a poor match for a vc-funded startup.

perhaps we could provide the equipment at a loss instead?

i hope so. I mean i hope NOT because my house would lose a lot of value but at the same time i really do hope so.
