Would be dope alternative for those who can’t make it. Could have graphic inlays giving stats and up to date info on player, could even be connected to online gambling to make bets

People will start washing their ass more.

[Monticore]

We will start using the 3 sea shells.

More working from home. Which means businesses need less office space.

I would love to say more appreciation for teachers-but that is not going to happen.

More people that learn to cut their own hair. I am not sure I am going back to the barber again. It stinks for him, but my wife did well.

Hopefully some families learn to be families. Again-pipe dream.

Empty stadiums will be the norm for a long time. Fan attendance was on the decline before COVID

Businesses are going to be super cool with everyone working from home while they're on an x year lease for the building they can't get out of or even worse own it outright, all while paying for your expensed home office so you don't sue them for carpal tunnel.

That will be interesting for some businesses. Could they give docking stations/monitors etc?

How do they reimburse for home internet use. I will tell you the school will not be doing that for me.

My company is mostly WFH and we are given a $40 stipend for internet and cell phone use.

I've worked from home going on 5 years now with just recently this push to get me into an office that's an hour commute each way because they're paying for space in a building that no one comes in to. They just sell it as greater internal collaboration and networking opportunities!!

My company, based in CA, hard vets work from home. Has to be ergonomic, low distraction, etc. They'll even tour your place before signing off. It's not like companies don't have years of research on working from home already.

Also, if everyone's remote, why do I need to hire residents for my company in Ditka, IL when I can just hire from any specialized workforce saturations across the nation?

There's a lot more that goes into it I'm sure.

Dont count on much..

When my employer closed our KC office we let one office professional go outright, one was given opportunity to relocate to HQ, One manager, one researcher and a Public Affairs guy all moved to home.

CoPay for new phone lines and paid for service on those lines

Set up as needed Fax, We all had computers and moved them with, and we had a $400 allowance for office set up. We were given first shot at buying our office furniture at a cheap price but far from free

I was lead manager and designated Office Manager and pretty much led the process company wide and helped make it a national implementation with 26 offices and over 150 people involved

Huge savings in office rent was first win.

Second was we discovered a few Managers were incapable of doing the job with out an office staff to cover them...we demoted them.

Total cost of sale dropped but sales did not, in fact we saw some increases where incompetent managers were replaced by better people.

Anyone who thinks the Home office folks will reward you for your home office is nuts.....

I loved the move but had some peers who were way upset because they were so into "going to the office" and all that bullshit

There are excellent systems in place and available today that were not when we did it..

I will stop eating raisins, corned beef and cabbage and egg salad every day

Commercial real estate will be dead after this

Companies that were doing some work from home stuff or at least considering it will be more likely to implement such measures, especially when talking infrastructure expansion.

Strides will be made with telehealth.

Possible strides with online learning (thinking high school mostly, since there's already a lot of college/adult ed stuff out there).


Oh, and something crazy knee-jerk..... uh, we cancelled concerts for a month, so no more live music!
