I work for a service company that takes care of dozens of different office buildings. When I was an apprentice taking the train into the city between 5:15-6 am the train was always packed with various commuters, ie office personal, security guards, construction workers, etc. From what I hear now, it’s mostly blue collar workers on the train. What I see in the field is offices that were normally packed, now will have maybe 10% of the personnel on site. Usually it’ll be a secretary, IT personnel working in an IDF room, and whoever HAS to be there for a meeting. My mom has worked remotely for 3 years straight. I think a lot of companies used to say for years that their computer systems could not handle the strain of everyone working from home but that clearly was a lie.

Well, yeah, now in a post COVID world white collars workers working from home is super common. I was more curious about pre.

Traffic isn’t AS bad as it was BC, but it’s still very stupid.
