Will COVID-19 Change the Way Workplaces Look?

As a full-time freelance writer, it's admittedly been a long time since I've worked in an actual office. But the last time I did, I remember sharing an oversized table-turned-desk with five other people, sans walls or barriers. The result? Every time one of my desk-mates took a personal phone call, I was privy to the details of his or her life. Every time a desk-mate brought in an offensive lunch, I was forced to endure the smells. And every time one of my desk-mates came in with a cold, I cursed under my breath most of the day in anticipation of getting sick myself.

Thankfully, I no longer have an office to report to, but a lot of Americans do. Many people who are working from home right now won't be allowed to do so indefinitely. And despite the perks of working remotely, some jobs aren't as conducive to it as others.
