Back to the Office: Tough Call for Workers, and for the Boss. (New York Times) I found this article incredibly infuriating.

Just this past week, I participated in a visioning session with a dozen people – something that pre-COVID, I would have said you could never do virtually. While there were a few glitches, overall, it was a huge success and really opened my eyes to how possible it is to adapt with fabulous results.
