Same story with mine. (Minus the business booming - ours is fluttering along)
I've brought this up to our management: "We work in a space where most people sit within arms distance of each other. How are you going to manage that aspect?"
They said, "Oh, maybe we'll do a thing where half comes in one day and half comes in another. Like business one day, engineering another, etc."
I responded, "But... the office isn't setup for hot swapping desks at all. So, you'd have half of some teams come in? You'd force us all in small meeting rooms again with very poor ventilation where we can't do social distancing? What's the point if half of engineering is at home and half isn't? We don't have many bathrooms so we'd have a lot of shared touch points. Same with kitchen - etc."
As usual - they're not thinking past the initial words coming out of their mouth. It's utterly amazing how inept people are at all levels of the stack.
