Back to work: Dallas leads the country in employees returning to the office

Are you back to the office yet?

With millions of Americans still working at home because of the pandemic, major employers and building owners are keeping an eye on the rate of workers returning to the office.

The Dallas area leads the country in the share of employees who are back to their workplaces following COVID-19 shutdowns, according to a new report by Kastle Systems.

Looking at the 10 largest U.S. metro areas, workplace occupancy is back to an average of only about 23% reopenings.

But in the Dallas area, more than a third of offices are back in business since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

and not to take that as a firm date.

A couple weeks ago they arranged for those of us who still have desktops to come in and take home all the equipment in our cubes home and for those with laptops to come in for docking stations and monitors. A well organinzed excercise with set times for each of us to come in.

I had been using my own laptop and (occasionaly going in when I wanted a better connection, that was permited). But now I have a VPN connection and two monitors and I don't miss the office at all.
