====== 2020-05-28 - pandemic and open-space offices ====== {{ :blog:2020:05:28:open_space.jpg?400|open space office}} i, as probably most of ppl reading this blog, work from home. for a couple of months now... and simply love it, btw! going back to the office is not going to be easy i suppose... anyway -- [[wp>covid-19]] situation seems to be slowly normalizing in many parts of the world. in [[wp>Germany]] employees are already going back to the offices, though in a shifts (50% on one day, 50% on the other). i wonder how this will look like in [[wp>Poland]], where vast majority of offices are open-spaces, nowadays. as you may know [[:docs:job_interview_-_candidate_questions:job_interview_-_candidate_questions|i never loved open space offices]]. now there is another reason to be worried. in such a densely packed space, where often you need to pardon someone just to pass by, keeping 2m physical distance is going to be next to impossible. i wonder how this will be addressed by different companies, when employees will be called back to their offices.
