How do you manage this expectation when working in an environment where part of the office is in the physical building and part is fully remote? When we were all in the office (pre-covid), anybody could walk to your desk to have a face to f

Any easy trick I use to help remember which to use is to replace who/whom with he/him to see which makes more sense in the context. "He" could not grasp. => "Who" could not grasp. I should vote for "him
