Why would anyone want to return to the permanent commute, inadequate roads and trains for the number of users, and insignificant productivity differences over the advantages of WFH? We all have better things to do than repeatedly burn petrol for an hour+ each way; to say nothing of the time wasted and environmental damage linked to that.
Lots of offices were oversubscribed with more staff than desks and parking facilities being the norm.
Yes, by all means I need to go in occasionally for the social aspect of work, but majority of office jobs don’t need it.
The one area where there is a weak link in WFH is training up new starters, who are of course unable to learn by osmosis remotely.
In spite of brexit, the reality of WFH as the new normal has opened up new jobs offshore. Considering joining an outfit HQed in Liechtenstein. No need to move to do so either. Win.
