Pre-covid, it was extremely rare for someone to book a meeting over lunch. It happened maybe twice a year, and the organizer would be apologetic.
Now it’s routine - multiple times a week. I guess people stepping away from their desk for an hour at lunch is no longer a thing.
I’ve noticed people rarely take sick days anymore. Were people faking when they took 4-5 “I can’t some in today, nursing a cold/flu” days a year? Are they getting sick less? Or is the assumption now that you can just suck it up and work from home if you have a cold, flu, or gastro-intestinal issues?
