It has been hard for all of us, and many observers are predicting massive changes to how we work are on their way on account of COVID-19. Industries that can afford to have employees work from home are likely to embrace this. But, I hope we're all given a choice if it comes to that--if we can choose how and where we want to work from, that should be good.
