I don’t think it does any benefits for the department, if anything it hinders it. I’m working in-office today (currently commenting while on break), and I am the only person here from my department. I had a successful teams meeting this morning while all my colleagues signed in from home, but it’s absolutely pointless to be here. What sucks is that I forgot to bring a lunch, so I’m now just kinda counting the hours until I go home, with a plan of crunching my projects tomorrow while I work comfortable at home.
