> It honestly sounds like an excuse to fire people. Or leadership has no clue.
Neither of these are true. The truth lies somewhere in the grey area between these two things.
> Who in their right mind would think they would continue to stay home and do everything online?
Hindsight is a helluva drug. Covid has made several lasting, possibly permanent, marks on society and our habits. Nobody could say what those were going to be.
The world is a lot nicer when you (correctly) assume that everyone is doing their best with the tools and the information they have to work with.
There were a lot of predictions during the pandemic about permanent change. My observation is that a lot of those changes were either largely temporary (e.g. widespread grocery pickup or delivery) or were mostly limited to limited groups (e.g. full remote work).
Neither of these are true. The truth lies somewhere in the grey area between these two things.
