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.

    Why would I waste time going to a place with a shittier keyboard and monitor than I have in my quiet private office, with my cat, and zero other annoying coughing humans.

      Not everyone is so fortunate, some people have the good monitor, keyboard and chair at the office and a dining table at home.

        That is totally fair

        I’ve been working remote or hybrid since well before the pandemic, so I’ve had a long time to prioritize setting up my home office.
