I'm enjoying the thought of software engineers everywhere coming into work with bandanas covering their faces.


don't worry the facial recognition technology has been perfected to track through face masks / bandanas

Why would they not remote work?


Who cares for software engineers in bandanas anyways if you can have bank clerks in bandanas!

And even that would hardly look weirder than in surgical masks. Color-coordinated bandanas with a company logo pin?


Bank customers in bandanas would probably be a good way to get shot by a security guard in a bandana. The days of Butch and Sundance aren't that far behind us!


Many places small and large put a large value on butts in seats.

For a less cynical take, there's a lot of conversations that do happen more efficiently in-person, particularly at a lot of places that aren't set up for "full remote".


It's sometimes seen as a security issue, especially if you are not provided with a company-issued laptop. Or your work may require specialized equipment like beefy machines for 3D rendering or local access to a server.


Because boss says no.
