Since the COVID-19 pandemic swept through the world so rapidly, changes that had drastic effects on our workplaces were enacted swiftly, in response to both government recommendations and new rules.
We saw ourselves working remotely, on the front lines, or in many cases, not working at all, as new information and more changes to our daily lives and its relationship to working occurred.
