Most likely we'll see that more companies will make more of their roles remote. Especially for smaller business, office space rent can be expensive. With COVID-19 they've probably seen that many jobs can be performed remotely, so hopefully we'll see more flexible business jobs.

- K0SM0S 7y agoThe iconic Empire State building is too old structurally to create what corporations like for offices— large, unobstructed open areas. So it's turning mostly into residential. And when you think about it... what you're suggesting is like step n of "internet-era social organization" because we now have the infrastructure to make it work. Have mainstream broadband for >90% of the population? ⇒ you may remote massively entire categories of jobs (probably leave a skeleton crew on-prems for peace of mind).
