Facebook extends its work-at-home policy to most employees

This doesn't work. As soon as a meeting has 2 people in person, the first time a zoom glitches or a leaf blower is in the background; the 2 in the office will feel disdain for remote.

If the office mic in the room only picks up one person, the remote person will be left out; the 2 in office will feel disdain for the remote miscommunication.

Just get rid of all your meeting rooms, and have everyone do the meeting from the desk, so it sucks for everyone.

I mean, that's kind of horrific, but it's the sort of thing people are thinking of.

The other mechanism is, even if people are in offices, construct teams so everyone is in a different one, and so everything is remote even if you are in an office.

It certainly sucks for everyone sitting at a neighboring desk.

It's horrific, but I expect this to be "accepted" behavior once we return to office.
