Answer 1

I think a lot of major companies and govt departments following suit and leave staff at home for 2020. And maybe this is a chance for us to really address the way we work. Who really wants to sit in traffic commuting when same work can be done from home? The time saved, the carbon saved. the money saved. so many benefits and very few downsides which cannot be overcome.  

Answer 2

I went in yesterday.  

Answer 3

Late June maybe later

I work at a pretty large agency and they have told us we will remain 100% WFH through at least the end of May but they are insinuating it may be much longer than that. We are adapting well to WFH though.

Answer 10

The office should be optional unless people don't perform at home. Forcing people into an office is not productive.

We Moved everyone back to the office 3 days ago

As long as they can get the F around to listing the verified GMBs that are just sitting in purgatory until they get around to it

Answer 16

Can anyone tell Google this is not safe? Someone hit the reset button to the whole thing 2 days ago by mistake, now see what's happened to the serps! Lol

Comments

Reset button or Nuclear button.  

Answer 17

Hopefully never.  

Answer 18

Thats how its going to be for a lot of organizations. Imagine one infected team member ends up infecting everyone else in the team. Imagine the risk to that project. Most companies will require that at least some members in every team/project continue to work from home in order to de-risk the entire project coming to a halt.  

Answer 19

So many companies will completely move to WFH that it's going to change the real estate market in many places

That has been happening for 6 weeks. Precipitous drops in the offering prices for commercial leases. Anyone highly leveraged with commercial properties (like Kushner) is going to experience a lot of pain. Attorney said they have been establishing new legal precedents for credit/bankruptcy law every day for the last couple months, with retail getting a lot of the action.  

Answer 20

I've gone into my office a bit off and on the entire time. But in early April I had 2 clients just pop in. Nobody usually does that! So I stopped going in unless I have a bunch of zoom meetings because it is just too hard to do them at home with everyone here working.  

Answer 21

Never . going full time remote and moving to Texas @legroom

Answer 22

For services businesses there is little need for an office.  

Answer 23

After 7 years of having an office, I will be closing it for good from May 17th but continuing to work from home. At the peak, we had 18 employees (Digital Marketing), now right sized to 9 (Local SEO only). The last 45 days have shown that there has been no letdown in our work. We have been pumping out more case studies, FB posts, released an upgraded version of our audit tool and added new clients when everyone has been wfh so took the painful but pragmatic decision to close my office. It was painful to see the empty chairs and systems when I went to the empty office couple of days back but hey. it was a good ride.

Are you going to do consulting for other SEOs?

@soredium5 I am continuing the company but we will all be working from home.

@upend42 You are a good person, a great risk taker and a wonderful human to be producing jobs for your country. Salute!  

Answer 24

Everything will work fine for existing employees who have been trained in person. Wait till the hiring of new employees commences and what they find about about training remotely. lol They have to retool their entire employees funnel. It's doable. I have been doing it for years. It's just different and will take a lot of work to set it all up.
