The onset of the pandemic brought about the most significant change in the workplace since the first office was constructed. Working from home — even lounging from your bed — became the norm. Companies saved a lot of money on office rent and related expenses, but started to notice a huge drop in productivity. As the pandemic receded, a growing number of firms asked their staff to return to their physical offices. Mint's coverage of the workplace culture doesn't just extend to that: offices aren't just 9-to-5, air conditioned spaces.
