Bolded is the big question mark. I have a funny feeling that this forced work remote/work from home is going to shake out a lot of the fat that companies have gained over the past 10 years. Both in people and expenses. If they inadvertently realize they can do most of their work remote and without travel.... a lot of that biz travel may just disappear into the ether.
