Abstract
Covid-19 and the related lockdown in many countries made digital work no longer just an option, but the new norm for many office workers who began to make sense of a new range of benefits of digital work tools. The article illustrates how the lockdown gave many individuals a flawed impression of digital work, i.e. their experience occurred during exceptional circumstances and led them to draw false conclusions about digital work. It examines some misconceptions of locked-down digital work and discuss the implications of locked-down digital work for research and practice.
