Yes, we have several new hires that only know our organization for a virtual standpoint.

I'm hoping that one big change post pandemic is that fewer people feel the need to work in an office. Fewer cars on the road, cleaner air! Granted not everybody has a good space to work from home, but still. All that unused office space repurposed as green living spaces. Hey, a girl can dream.
I do feel the need to get out of the house on occasion. But I can live with not going in to an office too often. But as I noted somewhere, the air handling and cleaning systems are better than what I have at home.
I'm imagining the next decade of HGTV shows.
"We're going to put up a wall here to create an office space with a door that you can lock so you can get some work done while socially distancing from your family!"
I hate "open concept", btw.
I like walls. I mean nobody wants to be hanging out with their family all the time. I imagine the shutdown is driving that point home.
My current favorite HGTV show is Home Town. They do rip down some walls but they also do a lot to preserve the feel of the older homes they rennovate. And the two people, a married couple, at the center of the show are adorable. And talented. And the houses they work on don't all wind up looking the same.
I'm all for a kitchen/family room combo or a kitchen/dining area comb. But I don't like it when the whole first floor is one giant room. Kitchen/dining/living all in one big room - ugh. (I'd never get to practice the piano without everyone screaming that I'm making too much noise.)
My preference, actually, is a more formal living room with room for the piano (a 1928 Steinway baby grand that I got for a steal!), a separate dining room, and then a kitchen/den combo. The TV is in the den.
And here I thought you were talking about seating in a work environment...
After a few 70 hour work weeks we got all the formal approvals necessary for our project to being deployment earlier today Cracked a beer shortly after. It's they eye of the storm, but I'm going to enjoy the hell out of it while I can.
