    I find it quite interesting that Ubisoft Montreal chose the same day as my employer to enforce 2 days in the office every week.

    I’ll accept that there is a 1 in 356.25 chance that any employer will pick a specific day to enforce a return to office, but it does seem interesting that there would be 2 employers in different countries picking the same day. Is there something special about that day that makes it a special day to change where and how people work? (I know that there were events on 2001 that took place on this day, but that doesn’t seem too likely a reason to pick that particular day to enact this change)

      It’s a monday. So that’s already more like 1 in 52. There’s been like 5-20 news worthy “return to work” announcements in the past year, I’m guessing half othem have mandatory 2 days, the other half have mandatory 3 days.

      Multiply that by the number of things that happen in your life where a coincidence of this level could happen and you should be seeing this kind of coincidence a many times each year.
