When lockdown is lifted is anyone planning to return to the office?

3. Cabin windows look frosted
4. No fenders
5. Far too heavily photoshopped.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

I expect there will be some office attendance at some point but there's been no indication yet as to when that is likely to start. ClientCo hasn't even raised it as far as I'm aware.
I was always planning on being part time in the office as there's no practical reason to be there every day so I suspect it'll be two or three days a week. It would be nice to actually meet the Client and the team I'm working with, and then go back to being remote.Comment

I highly doubt anyone will be in an office straight away unless their office is particularly small.
The only way a medium- large office will be able to observe social distancing is through developing a rota system where a maximum of one department is allowed in at a time.
Assuming that is even worth doing, since most jobs can be done remote.
There is gonna be a lot of jobs impacted if WFH carries on for months though, some roles will have a severe lack of work to do without an office being there i.e security, facilities, e.t.c .Comment

Took two calls already today. One offering remote working only as a temporary solution, expected to return to the office once lockdown is lifted. Not feeling comfortable letting someone else decide when that should be so discussion ended quite briefly.
The second one, a startup was keen on having people on site, even the agent said that he is not sure how are they going to do that as they are not essential work.
I mentioned to both that I am interested in remote work with only essential travel to site, apparently it’s a no go.
Is it me or this is quite odd?Comment
