Turns out, this might not be a temporary situation. Microsoft employees will be working from home until at least October. Google and Facebook employees may be working from home well into 2021. Twitter and Square employees have already been informed that working from home will be a more-or-less permanent thing.

And these aren’t the only companies reassessing work-from-home policies which means many people should get used to this new normal.
