”When we talk about this return to work, there's a difference between return to work and return to office. We're talking about the spontaneous interactions that people have, we're talking about the small moments where connection happens. This helps drive innovation, it helps drive better communication, it helps better initiatives more seamlessly happen...But a return to the office is just that, a return to a physical location and that's all it would be. People would not want to work next to each other with this virus out there, they would probably try and avoid each other, and that would just force them into a stressful situation. What people really mean when they say return to work is a return to those spontaneous situations”
