I worked as an intern at IBM’s Boca Raton campus just before they shut it for a move to Austin. It was crazy deserted and eery. Not the same, I guess, since it was more sprawling with little multistory buildings.

I worked in an office meant for 80 that only ever had 35. Room to grow! It was great. Then 30 people quit.

Later I worked in a scyscraper. Our floor was never exactly full, then like 80% on the floor were laid off. Entire teams gone.

Eerie is a good way to describe it. Being more or less alone with so much space, especially when you remember better days, is not fun.

I had the same experience - facilities dutifully kept doing their thing. They also worked through one week business shutdowns. First time, food kept coming too.

Now I work from home, which can be a different kind of isolating. If people left (one way or the other) I'd hardly notice unless they're on my team. (Still prefer the homeoffice overall, but eager to see my coworkers again occasionally.)
