Paranoia associated with coronavirus expands faster than the virus itself. Hundreds of thousands of companies have sent people home or allowed employees to work “home office”. For a large part of this population, it took years to master pressing the “power” button on a company computer. Now, within a few days, they work efficiently at home. Do you want me to believe in that?

Companies have kept people in the office for decades. Mainly because remote work requires an activity control system. Theys hoped that if people come to work, they do something right the in the corners. But even well-organized companies don’t want people to work remotely. Employees are coming to the office, crowding there because in this way ideas are born creative atmosphere appears. And now what? Sudden reality distortion? Home office is a fiction for the majority. It is better to name it “work-abandon”.

Corporations and firms publish messages in which they assure me that the good of clients and employees is the highest value for them. I don’t know why but I just don’t believe them. In the vast majority, nothing is behind it — it’s just often a words. Many bosses sailed away company ship as one of the first — they actually abandoned their employees. Badly said; “they moved to a safe place to ensure that the business would continue”.

When the pasta, rice and toilet paper are over, people will start to leave their homes. Although the virus will not expire. The needs of the economy will win with fear — luck of money call people back offices. The world cannot be stopped.
