The entire workforce changed in 2020. With no warning, millions of people were either shifted to a work-from-home life or were out of a job completely. Two years later, many companies have embraced a completely remote model while others have invited employees back to a partial or full time in office schedule. Some workers have loved the work from home model for an easier work/life balance, while others, especially those with small children, could not wait to get back into the office.
