  - It certainly undercuts Biden and Bernie's message that we couldn't wait to work with Republicans. That people need help now. - Inigo Mar 1, 12:32 1
    - I think they tried to work with them and found out what we all knew, they're not interested in working with the democrats on anything. - Krusty Mar 1, 12:49

Max it's a fair point, but I also recall Yahoo sending people remote and then calling them back to the office. - ty97 Mar 1, 11:26 8

  - Yeah, it's definitely an open question, I'm just not sure I see it occurring to the extent predicted. - ty97 Mar 1, 11:53
- I also think there are a lot of people that want to get back to the office as this has gone on. - spamlet Mar 1, 11:41 3
  - I'm in this group, I guess because I'm just not disciplined at home. I'd want at least 2 days/week in the office but I like 3-day weekends. - Max Mar 1, 11:53 2

  - Do you have a sense of whether it's because they don't trust people to wfh, or they find checking in from desk to desk is faster? - Max Mar 1, 11:57 2
    - My guess is that there's a real dichotomy in efficiency loss for WFH in some areas vs. others and they don't want to deal with it. -- nm - Dano Mar 1, 11:59 1
      - I think that the loss of productivity is in part due to people. like tarra on my team is great at WFH but sheri is terrible. - amanda jeans Mar 1, 12:16
