A friend of mine works for a Fortune 10 company.
They recently mandated a return to the office.
The problem? Employees had relocated across the country during remote work.
Some made major life changes—new homes, new schools for their kids—only to be told they had to move back.

If you have ever tried to read free books from sites like Project Gutenberg, you noticed that they can be uncomfortable to read, due to their layouts, type & occasional errors
