Don’t miss…

IT WAS March last year when my boss walked into our office overlooking Greenmarket Square, and said with hard lockdown coming into effect, we needed to pack up for three weeks.

My office was in a prime spot in the Cape Town CBD.

On the wall were our ideas and brainstorming notes. It had many stories to tell of deadlines, laughter, creativity and even tears.

We walked out of the office that day and I only returned once to completely pack up as we – like many others – did not return to the office.

Work from home has become the norm. A small section of my home has become my “office”.

The other day I had to meet a colleague to pick up documents. I hadn’t seen her since March last year. We met near my old office – now dark and vacant. Coming face to face with a part of the preCovid world reminded me of all we have all endured and lost.

Will the world ever go back to an office environment? I believe it will have to be done in stages. What this means for the office market, is not great. Let’s see how it all pans out.
