This may age badly, but imho: Long term, the meaningful work will be work that absolutely require in-person presence.
The office space sprawl of today will adjust to small-scale, experimental industry space, with a heavy emphasis on automation and custom engineering (industry v2).
Well after the collapse of today’s inflated commercial real estate.
- TheNewsIsHere 2y ago“Meaningful work” is relative. It’s understandable that doctors haven’t gone all in on WFH. Their profession more or less requires being hands on with patients, but that’s not the only meaningful work there is. But my work supports businesses that employ people, see patients, and provide robust tax revenues to local communities. That’s meaningful, and it doesn’t require anything more than my office at home. I think you’re right about industrial spaces. A friend of mine works for a company that creates building automation technology, and even their hardware engineers have automated a lot of the physical testing infrastructure. Not even those teams are in-office every day at his company anymore.
