Why do people need to return to the office? I have Teams, Zoom, email, Slack, and a cellphone. I also don't have an hour commute each way. I've gotten more done "at work" at home than I ever did in the office. Meetings are now as long as they need to be, not the full 1-2 hours scheduled whether we need it or not. While the opportunities for chit-chat and out-of-band conversations are not as spontaneous, using all the tools we have for communications can be just as impactful for one's mental health.
