I went to the office yesterday. It felt ... nostalgic? Everything is exactly as we left it in March 2020, except for the sign-in system that checks symptoms, the social distancing signs in the lobby, inside the office itself it's like we just left yesterday. Someone is keeping the place clean, for sure, not a bit of dust or anything to indicate how long we've been working remotely.
I almost want to go back. At least occasionally. There are people just outside of my team but in the same department that I may never see again, and they were nice people. I'll admit we had a good work environment and no toxic people, and clearly not everyone is so lucky. But it occurs to me that if I leave the company soon (and I am planning to), there's a bunch of folks I'll probably never see again, without ever having had the opportunity to wish them farewell. At least face-to-face :).
Maybe I'm just a softie. Many people seem to have much colder relationships with their coworkers.

My team was reorg'd last summer, and a number of people from my team were reassigned, including my manager; now a bunch of them have left the company and moved cross-country, and I never got a chance to say goodbye to them in person. It's been a hard time.
