[QUOTE="J-H, post: 9412999, member: 7020951"] Around here (rural area) it's a very small number. I can't remember the last time I saw a mask... probably at the airport last month? I expect there's a lot of variation here depending on what nation, region, etc. you're in. A lot of face to face activities saw a falloff in 2020 and have never recovered. My computer is about 7 years old and I have no intention of updating any time soon. I have Opinions about what operating systems I'm willing to tolerate for personal use. Most of the games I play are 10+ years old anyway. Yes! I've been WFH since before 2020, but I'm on commission so they don't want me in the office. It's a struggle to get anyone else WFH though. My boss says the CEO lives in the 1900s. We're looking at hiring a position that's about 55% "reports to me" and I want full remote for talent acquisition/retention purposes. When I moved 2 hours away from the office & metro area to a rural area, I knew I might take about a 10% hit to my commissions in terms of missed business (meetings/walkthroughs I couldn't just pop over to in 1 hr) and decided it was worth it. Still is. WFH is the biggest possible perk of working at a company. That said, it's obviously only for white collar roles, and you have to have the right person with self-discipline and drive. I think some of the "someone was using a mouse mover to fake working" jobs are jobs that probably didn't need to exist in the first place. [/QUOTE]
