Planning on traveling? Better know the COVID rules
Don't look now but it's almost Friday. Almost. Until then we have all the opinion content you're going to want.

Good morning. Today we bring you three columns covering everything from traveling with COVID rules still in place and the incoming office culture war that will be getting employees to return to the office and working remotely this whole time. 

Thank you for subscribing to this newsletter. Have a great day and remember. If things get weird, the weekend is almost upon us. 

Have you tried navigating COVID travel rules? 

Meet Christopher Barnard. He's a Belgian American who formerly lived in the United Kingdom and is now working in Washington D.C. He has family in England that he been away from for nine months. He and his parents are vaccinated so he was surprised by how many hurdles there were for family reunification

"The travel rules and regulations surrounding COVID-19 are not only inconsistent, unclear and endlessly bureaucratic. They are also needlessly cruel. The administrations of President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Boris Johnson should immediately seek an agreement to open up safe, science-led travel between the U.K. and the U.S., as well as other countries with low infection and high vaccination rates."

Ransomware threatens everything you love 

Cybercriminals may soon cross a true red line for humanity – or maybe we should call it a brown line. If we don't take away their profits and stop them, our coffee could be next.

The past few weeks have seen a veritable explosion in ransomware attacks. Americans lost access to gasoline as the Colonial Pipeline shut down.  The Irish health care system was violated. Our national barbecue obsession was threatened when the largest meat packing corporation in the world was temporarily offline. And in Massachusetts, the elite denizens of Nantucket were temporarily isolated from the mainland as the Steamship Authority was hacked.  

What's next?

Be honest. Would you rather work remotely? 

Business leaders often say 'people are our most important resource.' Yet executives resistant to permitting telework aren't living by that principle.

The post-pandemic office will require the realignment of employer-employee expectations. Leaders need to use research-based strategies to overcome their gut reactions, which cause them to fall victim to mental blind spots.

Gleb Tsipursky, a behavioral scientist, writes about what companies like Google and Apple missed in telling workers to go back to the office
