As we get closer to the ‘new normal’, our work lives after the pandemic are nebulous. There are articles like these, from heads of organizations exhorting us to return to work as we knew it. Commutes and cubicles, lunches on the run, meetings which could have been emails, office gossip masquerading as networking. The argument is that much of work happens outside work, the connections formed around office farewells and happy hours are just as important as those formed in formal work teams.
“For too long, powerful people have expected the people they have mistreated and marginalized to sacrifice themselves to make things whole.
