Dear Office Workers,

We’ve missed you.

We know you’ve continued to work for us over the pandemic, and we know you’ve been able to easily (and even in some cases more effectively) work from home. However, the time has come for you to return.

We know the the overwhelming majority of you would like the option to keep working from home. We know many of you have enjoyed not having to commute everyday. We know many of you have loved having more time to spend with your loved ones. We know many of you have found a better work/life balance by working from home.

You’re able to step away and enjoy lunch away from your desk. You’re able to have time to exercise in the mornings or evenings because you no longer have an hour and a half commute.

We know that the technology to allow people to work from home has existed for decades, and we know that most of you prefer to keep working from home.

Which is why we are bringing you all back into the office.

It is mandatory.

However, we’re going to make the office fun! We’ve heard your complaints so here are a few ways we’re going to make the office life not as depressing (but still a little bit depressing).
