Smart companies will see what's happening with the airline industry--execs pushing for end to restrictions, having a full return to normal, etc.--and it backfiring with huge swaths of staff out sick constantly, etc. and re-evaluate plans to return to full in-person normal. It really seems like it should be a team-by-team choice if and how they integrate in person into their workflow.

edit: Also if your company is in manufacturing, typically a 'pause' of operations is a big warning sign that orders are down and layoffs are coming soon.
