Yeah I’m honestly kinda liking it now and I’m dreading the thought of going back... I think we should all have the choice to WFH or not travel whenever ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think the pandemic will impact travel for much longer than we expect and firms will have to be flexible on what they require people to do. I’m not in a travel role but I would still need to take public transit to the office and home each day. Even if my state opens up stores, restaurants, etc., it will be a long time before mass transit can operate safely. Same for air travel. Firms need to protect their teams and honestly take precautions to not infect clients.

Same. My husband’s company decided they are all wfh until after Labor Day. He was depressed. I’d be pumped 😂

I work for a small agency and manage our internal marketing acct. We had very few processes in place when I started. I’ve since created, implemented, and trained our dept. on project mgmt for clients and am trying to convince the owner to apply those principles to our internal jobs. They are resistant because they just want the work to be done and don’t “want to keep spending money on internal jobs”. I’m confused because we’re doing the work either way and “spending” in labor/resources.
