A really interesting read from Savvas Savouri, Chief Economist and partner at Toscafund Asset Management.
Those within this ‘protective office bubble’ insisting on near-permanent remote working from home will soon find the patience of their employer exhausted. Managements will eventually come to give workers unwilling to return to ‘old’ work norms this ultimatum: “If you persist in demanding to work from home, then please accept a change in your full-time permanent job status in favour of a casual contract reflecting your more casual approach to work. If you refuse to accept this compromise, your job is gone entirely and I will reluctantly have to hire someone more accepting of full-time office working.” No doubt such a stand-off will keep employment tribunals busy for some time.
