No I don’t.
That paper makes it very clear there is huge benefit to the worker to work from home but it’s going to take a bit of GDP away etc. So it’s benefits for the masses versus the never ending desire for growth and profit. You would happily send us all back to the office (by the way my job has always been remote) for the sake of GDP and giving a bit of a boost to a few industries.
Honestly, I couldn’t disagree with you more on this. Hopefully the younger generations have well and truly started the ball rolling on change. We are not going to play by the rules of the 1990s and those of you only concerned with profit and growth at the expense of the workers will have to live with it.
I stopped here and thought if that was a fair thing to say to you personally. I decided it was. I don’t believe for a second this is about anything other than your cafe’s profit. |
I’ve been insulated from the effects of WFH. So when I say it has nothing to do with my business I mean it. I’m not a liar.
I like vibrant towns. I live going into to town with the wife. Doing some clothes shopping, having a bite to eat and a drink, then doing some more shopping. And then staying in town for the evening.
But these places won’t survive in weekend shoppers.
As for the economy not being important. Well it’s not as if it pays for schools or hospitals is it?
Some people may want to live a virtual life. I prefer a real one. [Post edited 23 May 2022 21:23]

I want a real life as well. I want to live my real life where I choose with people I choose. I don't need to be forced into an office to feel like i'm living.
Vibrant towns can still exist. Just in a different form.
'As for the economy not being important. Well it’s not as if it pays for schools or hospitals is it?'
Short sighted. How much is the government going to spend trying to contain climate change? This is an easy win. Not to mention people not wasting their lives commuting. Getting more sleep, being able to cook healthier meals at home, being able to maximise your free time knowing tomorrow you can roll out of bed twenty minutes before starting work instead of a couple of hours to get ready and put on a suit and tie because the older generations are stuck in the 1990s. So much better for workers. Most workers would take a pay cut to work from home.
I've never been bothered about protecting the high street but you have actually made me hope it dies in it's current form and the quicker the better if people have a rose tinted view of it and use it as an excuse to refuse to allow employees a better standard of living. |  |

I liked the bit where he said he wasn't a liar, and then went on to care a lot about the economy despite being a Leave voter.
Pure self-interest. |
Good to see the whole act is gradually getting rumbled for the self-obsessed charade it’s always been. |  | | |

I think there’s a little bit of a rose tinted view of city centres and high streets here. Most of them are just copy and paste with the same old chains of restaurants and coffee shops.
I’ll be honest, I don’t give a Sh1t if Pret A Manger disappears. |  | | |

Poor righties, ever desperate to bend his knee to his betters - so it should not be any surprise that he left out this bit
"Flexible working is important. Existing research suggests that workers and firms are most productive when they are given flexibility to choose the most suitable working style based on their individual needs and critical factors such as home-working environment, children, privacy, age and job seniority. Flexible working can also open the labour market to more people."
Are we to assume, from our resident cap doffer, that those working from home will not spend their money elsewhere as they no longer spend it near work. Will the extra income from not paying to commute not be spent elsewhere either ?
We should be building and developing for the future, for upcoming generations - not piping 'music while you work' to factories (that no longer exist). We either recognise change and embrace it, or as with brexit, we try to shrink into economic and (to a certain degree) social isolation.
Thesad thing is I doubt those 'betters' spouting such nonsensen even belief it - but whi pays the bloater, calls the tune. And in this case it is commercial property owners. And I have no doubt many will see the contradiction of bleating about how wearing a mask was oppressive, whereas being made (North Korean style) to be marched into work and kept there for set hours, week after week, month after month is not oppressive when it doesn't have to be.
I can only also wonder that these righties with their 'double speak' do not require work places to have, over their door, 'arbeit macht frei'. | | | |

You seem very angry. I haven’t suggested that you should be “forced back into the office”. I haven’t demanded that people stop working from home. And I’m not in a position to enact legislation that would do either. I’m just somebody on a football message board given an opinion. An option that you are free to disagree with. | |

Yes, because the EEC in 1983 and the EU in 2016 are exactly the same thing.
Still waiting for an obvious benefit to arrive, btw. Found one yet? |  |
