In my opinion this is going to be a huge downside of WFH. I'm not sure how new hires / graduates etc. are going to be trained if there is nobody in the office to train them.
Additionally there is (for me) the problem of how to train people when you are so busy you cannot keep up with your current workload. We're into a seasonal slowdown now but are in the position now of having laid off so many people that if it picks up suddenly (as it did over the winter) there is no way I could hire someone and train them and also get the day to day work done. I guess it's the typical Catch 22, management won't hire until we are at the breaking point and then we would be too busy to onboard someone and spend 3-6 months training them.
