Working from home not going anywhere as in-office mandates fall
www.abc.net.au
"Return to office" demands appear to have peaked, with research noting a fall in mandates for a certain amount of in-person days. Five years from the start of the COVID pandemic, remote and hybrid models of working are now normalised.

“Return to office” demands may have peaked, with employers accepting remote, work-from-home and hybrid working, research from the Australian HR Institute has found.

A survey of human resources professionals shows employers’ demands for full-time staff to be in the office between three to five days are falling.

What’s next?

More than 80 per cent of survey respondents expect that hybrid working levels will increase or stay the same in the coming two years.

    This was the best thing about contract work for me. I suddenly stopped caring about downsizing, poor performance announcements at all hands meetings, annual raises, and whatnot.

    At any given time I have 2-4 contracts going at once and if they want to get all demandy, IDGAF anymore. I have told managers “no”, and it’s amazing.

      It’s feast or famine. But honestly, I rather have this than actually going into the office.
