I am sure its for security reasons, if someone breaks in the cameras won't see them in the dark.

Has anyone noticed that going to the office was entirely overrated and unnecessary?

I knew this before a pandemic.
I work for a company that still has plenty of aspects of it from the 1980s. Not all of my job can be done at home either, but most of it can.

Yes, but you could probably be wayyyy more effective if you went in for a few monday meetings and on friday to clean up a few things and just fucked off for the middle of the week. In honesty you could probably do all of your work on Wednesdays and spend Tuesdays and Thursdays golfing or playing video games or smoking crack or doing whatever it is you fancy instead of being bothered by 50 co-workers that just interrupt the actual work that has to be done.

Here's the interesting part of all this.
I just got off a conference call with a fairly large hardware solutions deployment firm. Something that is being integrated into the systems is a dedicated link for mechanical fully automated services to replace humans in fields that were not projected for automation anytime in the next few decades. Basically something many felt was inevitable in our lifetimes is getting a massive fast track, ready or not.

What would become automated? Things like replacing a drive in a raid array? Repairs?

Almost anything. Positions that were considered secure before all of this. Drive swapping has been around for a while with servo systems, so that's already a thing. People knew of solutions to automate things with a lot of service sector and restaurant industry employment for decades now. But this isn't like that, not McDonalds vending machines, where the machine makes your food perfectly each time. Or Japanese style coffee machines that put Starbucks to shame. And not online learning to replace the majority of teachers.
Less Redbox in the visual, more like eliminating people who basically work in a cubicle sorting data and filing them according to compliance and policy. Communication bridges and a *lot* of management type titles. Which makes up the largest part of the American and European office workforce. Hardcopy sorting, endless 'teams' meetings, a lot of guaranteed make-work jobs for grads to bump school employment numbers.

That's crazy. My workplace had a positive case last week. 99% of the workforce is already WFH, but the 'mission critical' employees or people who don't have a good WFH environment were allowed to stay. They were all sent home on Wednesday and not allowed back for a week while they sanitize the entire building.

It's a trucking company. Retail, medical, industrial, you name it. No way they're going through an extended shut down.

Trucks are still making deliveries and the shelves don't re-stock themselves.
Store hours have been cut back, but those dark hours are now being spent disinfecting everything in sight. Hoarders, "Bored'ers" and people who don't know what the fucking word "essential" means also have a way of making a store look like instant shit. So, yeah... gotta spend extra time making the store look pretty for the next set of can't stay home morons.
