It turns out that that was the exact Monday that Sweden's public health office announced that any companies that can work from home, should. So we did. And to this day, we've kept with that. Whoever can work from home does. Whoever can safely go to the office, well, alright.

During the Google Hangout meet that was our holiday get-together this year, it was announced that this marks a new way of viewing remote work here. In principle, a person should be able to go skiing up in Nörrland, then hit the laptop for some work. Remote work is important.

So yeah. There have been various tweets going out about, "What was normal prior to 2020 that you don't want to see come back?" I, for one, don't want to see such an emphasis on seat-warming. If a person, or people, can function as a productive team remotely, then let them do it.
