What does it mean for a steel worker to be working from home? A warehouse worker? A painter? A housekeeper? A cook?&lt;p&gt;I do agree with the rest of the sentiment you shared though... The sense that some people who are enjoying the current state of affairs want others to return to normalcy while they are living the exception.</text><parent_chain><item><author>NoOneNew</author><text>I have a feeling this is going to end up similar to the &amp;quot;open office&amp;quot; fad. Lots of companies are going to go 100% on &amp;quot;forever work from home&amp;quot;. Then in a year it&amp;#x27;s going to be not so much. That being said, I do believe &amp;quot;work from home&amp;quot; will become more of an option and far less frowned upon by employers. Then again, this is a white-collar problem. Blue collar and a few other industries still have to go to work. But who cares about them, right? It&amp;#x27;s only the white collar jobs that matter and should have a form of change and evolution to how they work. Those lowly blue collars and service industry peasants need to get back to work. It&amp;#x27;s far more vital for the important industries to hide away from the outside world, from its horrors and look down at the rest.</text></item></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Atlassian tells employees they can work from home forever</title><url>https://www.cnbc.com/2020/08/07/atlassian-tells-employees-they-can-work-from-home-indefinitely.html</url></story>
