this bit of predicting seems pretty dire too, though extreme and who knows longterm, but still

Yeah, I have a hard time buying this. Maybe temporarily. But long-term I doubt it's going away.

I always try to get in person for any meeting that needs 90 minutes or more, even it means a super annoying zero-nights trip where I'm at the airport at 5am and back home at 10pm. That face time builds rapport in a way that a Zoom meeting never will. You don't take lunch breaks between training sessions and talk about your client's kids over Zoom. You don't have drinks at 4pm after all-day meetings and talk about your client's fishing boat over Zoom.

I'm a huge work from home, work smarter not harder, use technology guy, buy the above is not gonna change. Wish it would because I hate those trips more than anything, but it is what it is.
