It is really amazing to me how much I enjoyed being trapped in my home. Mostly. I actually wonder if a lot of people don't feel that way. Where I work we have meetings and everyone has to trudge into town, park, get dressed up, get childcare, all so they can stand there for 15 minutes -- tops. From our point of view it is always a question if people are going to show up and or, be on time. Due to the aforementioned challenge of getting into town. Then if we ask them to do something right after, we have to wait 4 or 5 hours -- or the next day -- before they are back at their desk. I wonder if that is justifiable any longer? Now when we end our zoom conference we have something an hour later.
In addition, I can't help but think what this will do for snow or other storms. Why bother putting everyone at risk during a snow storm if we can do it from home?
We use interpreters and it always a major hassle getting them to come in (usually they are busy) so I am hopeful that we can set up something like zoom even when we are in person.
What will it do for Real Estate? The real estate closer to the city is insanely expensive. Because people don't want the hassle of trudging in. But will people start buying in the outlying areas and using zoom?
I guess the good news is that there was a status conference yesterday and it really seems like people will not be back for a while. The CEO admitted that the work is getting done without being in person. I have made a point of my work being done.
He said in July we are probably going to go to teams? So first week in July Team A will be there for a week, then Team B, then Team C etc. That seems like a good plan.
