The open-plan office is dead, long live the plexiglass work panopticon

Yeah I have to say I am feeling the same. I am 54, still employed and have done one interview while working from home. They tried to use webex, which wasn’t working so we finished on the phone, but I found it very uncomfortable. I just can’t see myself getting past an interview without meeting the interviewers.

The shut in situation isn’t helping. I relished my bike commute. I can’t see this working in the long run. May as well retire. A lot of the enjoyment of work was being able to socialize with friends and co-workers. Thats mostly gone now.
