The pain could last beyond the pandemic.
The prospect of workers returning soon after shelter-in-place lifts, after vaccines roll out, after schools reopen has receded, and nonessential workers remain banned from offices. Remote work, made necessary by the health crisis, is becoming a permanent policy at many of the city’s biggest employers.
