It's a no brainer. We will look back at offices like we look back on Victorian warehouses. Edit: People seem to be agreeing but I'm getting downvoted. WTF.

- arcticbull 6y agoYep, Victorian warehouses but with snacks, slides and peers.
- anonAndOn 6y agoDon't forget the espresso machine! I wonder how it's doing all alone in the big empty office :(...
- Hamuko 6y agoIt's probably broken down. That's what they do, right?
- arcticbull 6y agoI’ve been looking for one for home, maybe craigslist has some gently used ex-Victorian warehouse ones.
- simonswords82 6y agoIndeed, they are comfortable warehouses but warehouses nonetheless.
- rootusrootus 6y agoI think it may be premature to celebrate the demise of the office. An awful lot of people still like them. And aside from some big names, how many companies are really looking to give up their office work? I work for a mid-size (10000 employees) software company and we are working from home for the forseeable future, but management has been very clear that they think collaboration works best in an office environment, and they plan on going back to the office once it becomes safe to do so.
- znpy 6y ago> I think it may be premature to celebrate the demise of the office. I agree, but mostly because high speed internet connections aren't that widespread yet.
- ghaff 6y agoThat's an issue in many truly rural locations. But you don't need gigabit connections to work from home perfectly adequately and 50 Mbit or so connectivity is available in large areas.
- doopy-loopy2 6y agolol, I think it might have more to do with the fact that humans are inherently social creatures.
- znpy 6y agoYou can have a social life outside work too, you know? ;)
- doopy-loopy2 6y agoyeah but you're still sitting in isolation for 8 hrs a day
- Bombthecat 6y agoNo way. I know one giant telecom company going remote. Now, the plan is :bring everyone back to the office, despite clear better kpi and more output etc. Old managers just cant let go.
- iso947 6y agoOld managers most likely to die from second wave
- subsubzero 6y agoI don't think so, well maybe how tech used to work at the office with developers elbowing each other at a long table meant for 5 but 10 people working from it.
- tdeck 6y agoWe still have warehouses. What am I missing?
