I work for government, in a software development area, and I had to be at work during COVID.
At first in person, with free parking which was nice, but no coffee shops. Then we got the 200 remote work licences that were originally for field workers and worked on VMs, then the organisation got a remote work system for the whole workforce and could work on our own work desktops from home and everyone was virtually back
We worked so hard during that first year (2020 good riddance) and delivered so much emergency support software so quickly
Then things get back to normal and are told that we can’t deliver while working from home so have to be in the office 3/5ths of the time
