Nick Kneer like many other Americans was excited to go back to work in his Ohio-based university library system, he works as a communications coordinator. He missed the jostling among his colleagues and was looking forward to it as office spaces open up in America. However, the reality was a little different. 


With the soaring rates of Delta Variant cases in the United States, companies have opted for a different form of in-person work. Kneer and many others found themselves confined to a four-walled room while conducting business on online sites like Zoom, GoogleMeet, Slack, etc. This has led employees to face the reality that the visual nature of working may outlive the pandemic, especially considering how a lot of employers are now adopting hybrid schedules of working which include in-person as well as remote work. 


Brain Krop, Chief of HR research at Gartner said that there is a "weird" dilemma, the employers want workers to come to work at the same time they also want the meeting to be conducted online. The total revenue earned by Zoom is proof that video-conferencing is still in high demand even as routine work resumes, employees have realized that their pandemic work environments have followed them to work.
