Remote working: that's how it's done here

In these exceptional times of seclusion and care, all businesses are looking for new ways to keep in touch. 

These days, 'working from home' is being reinvented all over the world. The amount of kids in video calls rose by 655%, Bluejeans data traffic increased tenfold and even Microsoft Teams struggled with the crowds on their virtual meeting place. The result: messages with delay, like the postal services of old.

Everyone has a different living situation, different habits and different resources available to them so we gathered some home office examples. We noticed that some colleagues ease the tension with jokes, while others go to work in a suit even when at home and we also learned that some colleagues have the strangest pets. 

The changes, far-reaching as they are, also offer many opportunities. We see the spring come into full bloom through our new office window, we can play with our kids during breaks, we get to know our housemates in a new way and there's no queue at the coffee machine. 

Some desperate parents came up with creative solutions to assure they could concentrate. One colleague reported: "My son is 23 and still complains he's bored. I suggested he could get started on some yard work. I haven't seen him since."

Quarantine bingo: every colleague with children won!
David's son was forced to mark all achievements himself, including 'a glass fell' and 'can we go play now'?
