Workplace Transition

As the country sorts out what workplaces will look like in the future, the answers we arrive at will have big implications for the nature of work, job satisfaction, and equity issues. People go to work to make money, but they also go to work to interact with coworkers, get the satisfaction of doing something productive, and sometimes just to get out of the house. People who work with their hands will have no choice but to go back to the auto body shop or Target or the dry cleaner. Tech companies — on the other hand — may over-correct, leaving a workforce scattered everywhere and anywhere, gradually eroding any sense of organizational identity or culture. The coming gap between those who can work at home and those who cannot constitutes a new inequality with repercussions we only dimly understand now. What are your thoughts?
