"We are gathered here today to remember a fleeting but formative friend: working from home. For me and my Condé Nast colleagues, she was born on March 11, 2020. It was a Wednesday. She came into this world under tumultuous circumstances-and the story of her early life has been told many times over, so I'll spare you a long recap. What I will say is that I remember it like it was yesterday."
"Our office wasn't the only one to change that day: March 11 was also when the World Health Organization declared a pandemic. In the days and weeks that followed, other desk workers around the country also signed on from their laptops at home as we all waited to see what would happen. Remote work cried miserably when she was young. Personally, I found putting up with her to be a bit trying during those first weeks, when emotions were high and fear was everywhere,"

Early remote work brought emotional strain, fear, and adjustment challenges for many employees. Over time, remote work relationships strengthened as workers adapted to home-based routines and awaited further developments.
