The most devastating pandemic of the recent century arrested the entire professional industry for a couple of months or  can be corrected as 'till now'. Covid definitely defined the infrastructure essentials: a laptop or computer, uninterrupted power supply and network strength, software tool or license or remote access as you can mention it. This predominantly clarifies the work from home requirements of IT service professionals; the rest of the world has its own issues to tackle. If the stake is taken for a country like India, a smaller state like Kerala may manage where main cities and the rural upliftment are happening in parallel. Remaining metropolitan cities have people struggle to reach over network, power stabilities in their hometown. Recruiting agencies are running over at the new year opening to fill open positions in these cities as people are coming back to Silicon Valley.The golden wrap kept in offer letter- onsite opportunity is now kind of cold bread. The nature of work got the attention of  people at top management on the basis of meeting or working hours which actually is disturbing the manpower efficiency. While companies do surveys on getting people back to Work from Office, the 2 years of Work from home syndrome have serious consequences on people managing their family,work-time balance, travel and related expenses. When you have to attend the meetings on US timings and work update on IST, the day clock will not save employee's mental or physical health. The kind of training being given for a fresher and the responsibility transfer from a relieving person balances the risk pressure for delivery completion on committed deadlines. A 40 minute debate with interviewer confirms the recruiter for a job offer; but the discussion with HR for appraisal in the same company doesn't long for more than 10minutes.

For the manufacturing sector where people work on shifts with heavy equipment handling and the plants having deadlines for a couple of 1000s, the social distancing is a " Do or Die" situation. That is why after 6 months, even the Govt norms on the lockdown pattern gave way for the people finding their own income. Whether it is design, development, testing, production, sales or marketing the possibilities for doing it online creates hurdles on the implementation scenario;we were not ready for the Indian market on this. Uncertainty is being spread over all domains and the concept to be explained should be foresighted within the schedule or it should be able to wrap back anytime.

So this is all about people sitting on chat boxes or meeting applications without any physical contact for months. The kind of hangouts or gatherings missing for the corporates have been balanced in the vaccination drives conducted, through which indirectly the company is reaching to the employee's family members well being. Health insurance, policies and perks have been upgraded in the salary structure like never before as the situation demanded it. 

The boom that happened in the delivery business is a nightmare. While most of us get the groceries at doorstep delivery, it's food for us and work for them. From bigger investors to local supermarkets, the free delivery and mobile application support for customers gained it's huge roadway.

Like someone said, the pandemic was aimed at creating a scarcity for the demand hike towards the largest producer country of the world;and at the end of the day, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
