>“It is soul-stealing and debilitating to embrace the notion of social distancing and economic hibernation.” While I agree with this on a personal level, this is not something that should be pushed down from people in a position of authority. I appreciate my employer's stance on things. "We want you to feel completely comfortable working from home. We aren't going to enforce it, but we do encourage it, and if there is anything you need to make it easier for you to do so, let us know." Some may disagree and think that the employer should "enforce" WFH, but I find this approach to be extremely respectful to the employees' agency as individuals. And it seemed to work very well. A couple people stuck around in the office for a few days, and now everyone is working from home.
