I started working in the office again at the end of last week. We do not have to wear masks while at our desks, but we are expected to when moving around the building, in the restrooms, and in the cafeteria. We have a maximum of half capacity allowed in the building. We are not allowed to sit adjacent to one another, or directly opposite each other, and there is no hot-desking. If you turn up to work on the same day as another colleague you sit next to or opposite, one of you has to go home. I needn't worry because nobody else in my team is interested in coming into the office to work. Somewhat ironically, the office was remodelled last summer from spacious seating at least six feet apart from one another, to being elbow-to-elbow in opposing rows of desks to 'aid collaboration' (and the spread of pandemic diseases).
Occasionally I see someone I know, but there is hardly anyone working there these days. The cafeteria serves a reduced menu and the food is handed to us in foam boxes with disposable cutlery. I don't know if the office will ever be the same again, even if the Covid measures are ever relaxed, because it seems that most now prefer to work from home. I can't stand to work from home any more, and have been struggling to adapt to it since I started in March.
