The delta variant surge and the new CDC mask-wearing recommendations could crush calls for workers to return to the office
told their people to return to their offices and may reconsider their plans. The Big Apple was the epicenter of Covid-19 during the early dark days of the outbreak. It doesn't seem likely that workers will commute back to the City if there is a renewed health threat.
Workers have been resistant to returning to the office. They’ve pointed to childcare issues, public schools which may not reopen,, the danger of commuting into a hotspot, walking crowded streets and being in close proximity to lots of other people. It's been proven that employees were highly productive working from home. Studies show that remote workers put in longer hours well into the night and weekends. The amazing rise in the stock prices is a great indicator of how well companies like Amazon, Apple, Google, Microsoft and Facebook fared during the outbreak when their workers were at home.
Now with the potential for a new wave, it would be tone-deaf to make people go back to the office. Even if companies pushed for it, employees would likely revolt and stay home. Compassionate leaders won’t want to gamble with the health and safety of their staff. They’ll likely have no other choice than telling workers to stay at home until there is greater clarity about the new strain.
