In downtown Portland, they re the only one at the office
White collar workplaces sit empty, except for pockets of resistance, across the Portland metro area
The office used to be a compulsory home-away-from-home. You had to go in, you had to commute, you had to look busy to get your check. It was a place to work, network, brainstorm, gossip, banter and mingle with your unchosen family.
COVID-19 put paid to that.
Work from home (WFH) became a way of life for anyone who doesn t work with their hands or directly with people, and many folks haven t seen their cubicle since March.
