Back to the (hybrid) office

Covid-19 has altered our relationship with how we work. And reconsidered it entirely

Whether this is because our employer has now adopted working from home as a general principle, or perhaps we’ve caught glimpse of another way to live and be.

It was an uncertain, anxiety-provoking time. And one which I genuinely thought was temporary. I remember the suddenness of it all, combined with the newness of it all. The novelty of the situation as we adapted to virtual meetings and sticking our washing on in the middle of the day.
