You have a point there.

Most WFH employers, offer allowances to offset home energy costs and will provide ergonomic seating etc.

For this to work to everyone's benefit:

1. Employer needs to find a way of increasing productivity;

2. Sound thinking needs to be applied to collaboration and activities of the moment;

3. Employer needs to decide on an HQ strategy. Downsize? What happens when/if the WFH fad passes?

Public services are an important case. HMRC doesn't provide telephone contact across the summer. That's because of WFH. How can that be justified?

Also, what about the current young people? WFH would stunt their social skills.

It needs careful thought.
