The Dark Legacy of a Lost Era

As the world slowly returns to what we call “normality,” a question haunts the empty corridors of offices: have we really returned to what we were before? Government measures for COVID-19 have left invisible scars on Brazil’s social fabric. Employees who learned to work in isolation now hesitate to embrace colleagues. Masks abandoned in drawers whisper stories of fear and uncertainty.

What remains is an even deeper mystery: we discovered that much of what we considered “essential” at work was actually dispensable. Endless meetings, exhausting commutes, mandatory physical presence – all of this evaporated like smoke. The question remains whether we have brought back the ghosts of the past or silently built a new world of work. The pandemic has ended, but its shadows still dance among us, shaping every corporate decision with the memory of those days when everything stopped.
