The physical office is a relic of the past and only to be used by outdated industries.
“The physical office is a relic of the past and only to be used by outdated industries.”
We started seeing that reality before we could spell covid.
One of my wife’s long time friends and a relative gave their notices to their bosses re retiring due to the increase in traffic, wear and tear on their vehicles and them and costs to go to work 5 days a week.
Their former company’s ended up installing offices in their homes and giving them raises to come back to work from their home offices. They worked from their homes during and post Covid B$!
Post Covid, we have 3 younger relatives cutting deals re working fewer days but more hours per day. Basically they work 3~ 12 hour days and get a weeks pay.
One BIL by marriage took retirement during the covid B$ because his company kept adding unpaid hours and work.
Now, he works 3 half days/week, sharing an office in his hometown, with his wife. He still gets his retirement and benefits, and he charges his company a flat fee for 3 hour work days. His company provides all computer/phones and other electronic business tools/services. Also, he has zero travel and no living in airports.
His wife jokes that they/he can do this for decades.
