WASHINGTON — When Romain Daubec and his wife Monica left San Francisco last summer for Denver, Colorado, they thought their telework hundreds of miles from their offices would last no more than a half-year. The Delta variant, now dominant in the United States, has taken a heavy toll. One employer taking note was Facebook, which on that same day announced that it would not require workers to return to the office before January 2022. Facebook thus joined Microsoft, Amazon, American Express and NBC in delaying, to October or January, the full reopening of offices. Klachkin, for his part, says he is more productive than ever — no longer having to spend long, wearying hours commuting every week.
