Yes, the office is back. It just might never be the same.
LOS ANGELES, Calif. — Just past the ping-pong table, in front of the kombucha tap and around the fully stocked snack bar, an executive bounds over to a couple of people who have just stepped foot in an office for the first time in more than a year.
“Are you shaking?” he asks. The visitors are confused. His outstretched hand solves the mystery.
Handshakes are back from the dead, against all odds. Hugging too. And small talk, about the weather — is humidity good for curls? — or the snacks — is blue or yellow Gatorade better? — is thriving.
