Off to London today for my once in a blue moon visit to the office. Our company has been very good with the whole remote/hybrid thing but I’m wary that they might ultimately follow the trend of believing that since other companies are now getting people back in the office; they should follow suit.
I think that misses the point.
Knowledge workers, as we like to call ourselves, are far more productive in our own environments. We have more time with our families and spend less time stuck in traffic, stressing over cancelled trains, spending obscene levels of cash on tickets in this broken economy.
I used to be freelance until Covid broke out but weirdly did us a number of favours and many had an almighty epiphany. What the fuck are we doing with our lives?!
With all that said, I go into the city once a fortnight, so happy to do that, it’s a fair compromise.
