If you don’t fight for it, you will lose it – and your boss will force to move to a place you can’t afford.
Amazing how wimpish workers are about securing new rights like this.

Feels like an unfair comparison to a peak we will never return to, but half a million remote workers is still incredible as a proportion of the workforce. Potentially half a million cars off the road, half a million families who can better care for their families and even consider having a stable home and children. Thousands of towns and local economies that benefit from the community and volunteering from people who are not exhausted by a pointless daily commute.
The only ones that lose out from remote are landlords who face having a stranded asset. That’s the end of the list.

Kind of surprised in general though. Eyeballing that graph it would appear that about 60% of people were still going to a workplace every day at the peak of covid. I guess it depends on your bubbles, but it definitely felt like most people were actually working from home and it was only healthcare and retail workers who went to work.
Then I guess there are a lot of jobs in manufacturing, haulage, etc., which don’t have an “office”, but also don’t WFH.
It does look though like the proportion of remote workers is somewhat stable around 20%, give or take, with hybrid working slowly increasing.
Which is a huge jump from pre-Covid numbers.

You’re telling me the number of people working from home since a pandemic ended and isolation rules were lifted, has continued to decline?
Groundbreaking research this.

I’m 100% remote. It’s really life-changing.

Should you not add “usually” and “sometimes” together?
