Our work lives transformed in 2020 in ways we never could\u2019ve imagined. Take James, a 29-year-old software developer who works for a big tech company in Silicon Valley.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He\u2019s worked there for seven years\u2014right out of college\u2014but when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, he decided to temporarily move back to his parents\u2019 home in Cincinnati. These days, he works out of his old bedroom, still decorated with baseball posters (he uses a virtual background on video calls<\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n

When the company announced it was extending its work-from-home policy through summer 2021, James wondered when he\u2019d get back to the office\u2014and what it\u2019ll be like when he does.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He knows it won\u2019t be the same. After all, 2020 has been a rollercoaster in just about every way. The coronavirus pandemic spread worldwide, he and nearly everyone he knew got sent home to work remotely, and everyone\u2019s work-life balance underwent enormous change.<\/span><\/p>\n

This makes us wonder, what sort of work transformations will we see in 2021, on top of all the unprecedented changes this year?<\/span><\/p>\n
