Still waiting to hear. Don't think we will ever be back to "normal". Some employees have prospered while working at home. Some have stagnated. A couple of people just retired early as they did not want to make the change. It is hard to train, learn, and advance with work at home. I believe there are limits to how long work at home will be effective. I would like to be back in the office for 2-3 days a week. I am putting off hiring for an open position as I don't want to attempt virtual training.
Same. Taking away the 20 minute commute and the need to shower prior to work gave me enough time to go for a daily morning walk before without changing the time I wake up.I liked working from home in the winter.
For us it will be varying by department but people that need to be in the office at the same times for meetings will be on the same days. So for me likely 1-2 times a weekStill waiting to hear.

People have been moving out of New York for hundreds of years.What do people think will be the future of NYC? Is the exodus temporary or has the city changed permanently?
So, I take it that you think nothing is different about NYC going forward? Hope you are correct. People have been moving in for years, but now more are moving out than moving in.. Did you notice the bump in housing sales in CT & NJ?People have been moving out of New York for hundreds of years.
I don't know where you get that from. Of course it will be different, that doesn't mean any kind of mass exodus.So, I take it that you think nothing is different about NYC going forward?
Nobody goes there anymore; it's too crowded.People have been moving out of New York for hundreds of years.
My team has been virtual since we started. I was talking to a lawyer at a big firm in NYC and he said they did a survey and 85% of the people want to work at home going forward. In the past it was only partners that could do that and staff had to be in every day...now they know they can function with staff at home.
I would not want to be a commercial landlord in NYC as leases expire.

It's not dead, not remotely close. No big city is dead. But I wonder if it will ever have the population or influence it once did.
Yeah, but it still sucks like no other place on earth.Jerry Seinfeld has a message for those who think NYC is dead:

This raises the question about the need for bricks and mortar offices. In the end I think you still need places to interface with each other and people outside the company, but you don't need all the office space. I wonder if satellite offices are going spring up. There's definitely going to a change in the market. I'm not sure how it all works out.Haven't been in since March. Our office lease is up Jan 2022. I'm guessing they won't renew it.
In a couple years, the cities will be back to what they were. We will all forget and move on and at the end of the day, there is stuff available in cities that you just can’t get living elsewhere that will continue to draw people in.
Opposite. Headquarters will remain but satellite offices will close and those employees will move to remote workers.This raises the question about the need for bricks and mortar offices.
