      Surely you have the right to “request” absolutely anything.

      People can request to WFH.. the problem is their toddler tantrums when they get told No, that they have to actually be in their work place..

      And Alot of people are abusing their WFH that do get to WFH.. only they aren’t working from home.. they are working from another part of the World..

      I’m fully supportive of working from home and the rights but I can objectively see how it’s very hard to implement into legislation to force employers to allow work from home. Almost every single employer or role or both would have their own circumstances that would need to account for that particular situation.
      And when you get into that detail I’ve never heard of anyone being able to explain how it would be legislated. Hopefully people with the ideas can help with this.

      WFH is such an easy win for quality of life, rural regeneration and environmental impact.

      Why should people who literally cant work from home (i.e. builders, farmers etc) and who, im my experience, dont really understand what it means,get any say whatsoever in whether or not WFH enabled workers get to do it or not ? Seems odd. Especially since most facets of working from home, like emptier roads, high productivity, less pollution etc only have positive consequences for them/ society?
      Literally what sub section of Irish society would decide its a bad idea ?

      When people hear “right to request” they scoff and say it’s no good if it isn’t a right that employees just have.

      But for government, practically implementing this is nearly impossible. Every business/organisation in the country has different needs. How does government write a law and regulations giving a muscular right to WFH and then account for the small business where the bookkeeper is also effectively the receptionist? Or the education institution trying to provide services to on campus students? Or the large evil multinational (sic) that can show that a ten minute stand up WIP meeting first thing makes their business 2% more productive? (Tongue in cheek… but something like that)

      Writing and enforcing regulations would create a cats cradle of employment law and then case law down the WRC. For a country that relies on companies to make proactive decisions to invest and expand employment and activities here.

      I think wfh is an absolute good, and I think government should do more to nudge companies to make use of it – for example could you give incentives to companies that have more of their workforce using wfh more of the time (this will, btw, lead to calls of unfairness from organisations that need people to be on site).

      But a legal framework to force companies to do wfh is highly complex with significant potential downsides.

      The only way to challenge the egos of CEOs is through taxes. 

      They have three goals:

      1. Increase the share price 
      2. Increase their salary 
      3. Proformative bullying to one up the other executives. 

      If the government want to curb this RTO bullying, the government have to have a positive impact on one of the other metrics. 

      In this case, I would suggest a very modest tax reduction that in turn help the share price, depending on the number and effort gone into supporting work from home. 

      Maybe a scale where if you support rural movement to the north and west, areas described by the EU as deprived, it reduces the tax slightly also. 

      Either way, unless you give a little, these narcissistic gowls will continue to bully the workers.

      This is nice but should they not be looking into ways to protect those who already have it and have had it for 5 years now.

      To many companies are just deciding on a whim to remove it. Surely if someone can prove through metrics that they are working better and more productively at home and have been for 5 years, their ability to work from home should be protected.

      How many of us come into the office, barely talk to our coworkers and spend half the day on zoom talking to people on the other side of the planet..
