Happy CNY to everyone and I hope all of us enjoyed the holidays. I didn’t do any visiting this year and only had CNY lunches and dinners with our immediate families at their homes. I took the chance to rest up and it was a nice break away from work. As we start to settle into a new flexible work from home/office arrangement, the positive is an increased engagement with our teammates and stakeholders resulting in a higher level of productivity. It felt good to be able to socialise in the office setting again. The negative is an increased travel time & schedule coordination resulting in higher levels of fatigue. There’s always a trade-off and we just have to keep balancing the benefits and costs.
