It’s a tale as old as time by now, and one shared across the country by office workers lucky enough to ride out the pandemic from the safety of their homes: Last March, we all packed up for the day and simply never returned to work as we knew it. Sure, there was a (masked) stop into the office here and there for a monitor or a mousepad, and even an open-air parking lot meetup or two. But mostly, we downloaded esoteric zoom backgrounds, threw away all our “hard pants,” settled into our home offices, and got to work.
