It is indeed!
Due to Covid, my company sent everyone home to work on 3/20/20. My last day of work-from-home (or anywhere else!) was 12/18/20. At the end of the day I simply turned off my laptop, and thus ended a 25-year career at that job. Talk about a whimper!
I arranged to turn in all my equipment on 1/4/21. Even then, the only person I saw was the facilities guy who took the box from me.
I will say the company offered a "virtual retirement party" via Zoom, but I declined. A handful of close friends did set up a "personal" virtual retirement party for me a few days before, and that was fun.
At the time, I thought folks would be back working in offices by now, but so far my ex-company is still 100% WFH. I live only 8 miles from the workplace, and always thought I would go back (post Covid) to say a proper "goodbye" to a few more people, but now I wonder if that will ever happen. The WFH option looks like it will be permanent.
Ummm, yes, Out-to-Lunch, guilty as charged.
! Had to cancel that one, but due to the policy at the time received cruise credit. So essentially, I've prepaid my next vacation. Got the passport renewed, so that vacation should be coming soon! I'm also looking at going to Italy this fall with some cousins to see our grandparents' hometown (and apparently some more distant cousins that still live there).
