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.

    Wake up 9am, get a cup of joe, some pastry, take a mandatory shit, work for two hours, arrive to office just in time for lunch with colleagues, four hours of work, go back home, work some more if needed.

    And still be more efficient than being forced to work on site and being watched by your boss all the time.

      This, entirely. Although I dont even wake up later. In fact I’m ready to act on things earlier than I would be had I immediately gone to the office, because I’m already looking at mail and tasks when I would normally leave.

      Hybrid working is only a problem to people stuck in the eighties.
