"Gerald Ratner, the new operational boss at Manchester United, once the best club in Manchester, has ordered staff back into the office or face redundancy next week. Time the Government did the same with civil servants. It all over the news" Gerald ratner? Are you sure? The “return to office” order at United is largely unenforceable, large numbers of their employees joined in recent years on hybrid contracts or contracts that entitle them to work from home, so any threat of redundancy for those individuals would be a nailed-on constrictive dismissal case. Also, I’m pretty sure they don’t have enough office space for all of their employees, so the proposal is unworkable. | |||

"Gerald Ratner lost his business for crass comments made at a televised dinner, his Samuals jewely Empire went down the pan …., in a v patronising speech about this buying public etc and the quality of “tat” they sold ! Jim Ratcliff avoids paying uk tax allegedly! Just thought that was a bit relevant ( ok a tiny bit) " Ratner was asked how his stiff was so cheap, and he said “because it’s crap” … actually, maybe he would be a good general manager for United “because they’re crap” | |||

"Personally, I think that people being at work in company offices is beneficial, especially when those offices are near town centers & places with shops & eateries. It would boost the trade in highstreets etc... On the other hand, many people enjoy not having to spend hours commuting. Also, many organisations have raken the opportunity to downsize their offices, leaving considerably less seats than bums. Cal" People still shop and have coffee … but they use local outlets in villages and towns instead of cities. And the emission savings from reduced travel levels has to be a positive | |||

Cal Lots of companies were downsizing office space and expecting employees to work from home some of the time even before COVID struck." When you need your employees to work in the office then the pool of people to choose from is limited by how easy it is to commute. If you can work from home the pool of employees is national. This is happening in Australia where they are losing jobs because employees can work from anywhere. I know someone who moved to Northern Ireland and still kept their job in the southeast. That job would be up for grabs by locals if they had to be in an office. Soon if this trend increases then you'll be applying for work across the country and competing with others that choose to do the same. | |||

" Being able to live in cheaper locations and not have commuting costs is pretty attractive. Doesn’t work well for all jobs or industries, or all stages of certain careers, but there are some huge upsides to being able to work from home | |||

"So apart from the convenience, improved capacity for work life balance, supporting people whom have children or carers. People with disabilities. The reduced traffic hence improved efficiency and economic multiplier effect, road accidents, road maintenance, environmental impact and increased availability of building for housing, welfare, NHS, arts and entertainment. Other than that I think working from home is a ridiculous idea." You forgot the reduced costs to companies because they don't need big offices. You also forgot about the logical extension which is "why employ people to work remotely in the UK when they could employ people to work remotely in cheaper locations abroad?” | |||
