In February, I started my first ever gig as a contractor just before the virus hit. I was in the office for about two weeks and was just starting to learn the office, the people. What ticks bells and what doesn't. The team is very tightly nitted and without any presence in the office, I simply don't exist. I can sit all week on slack and not get a single conversation. If you highlight my name it's assigned as "Contractor" with my role left as blank.

Apart from the morning yesterday shift report given on Microsoft Teams. I just send my invoice in for the amount of hours completed. While I'm aware a contractor is suppose to be detached from the company because your hired for a specific reason / project but mentally it's a lot harder not knowing people, what emotions and how to react and webcam is just pointless; the delay and the lag from home connection is just so poor.
