I understand the impulse to believe this is all temporary and that the extroverts who lead our companies will get us all back into the open office as soon as they can. Consider a financial reality. There is likely to be a terrible recession over the next few years. There will be layoffs and bankruptcies. Office space is hugely expensive. Some competitors are going to choose not to renew office space or to downsize their offices as this crisis drags on. And your company will have to compete with those companies who have cut costs without loosing efficiency.

We are living through a black swan event, so it's a healthy exercise to forget everything you think you know about how the world works. I don't know how this is going to play out.
