Recently I'm seeing a lot of stepping back from the enthusiasm for pure homeworking. Companies and commentators are recognising some things do happen better and faster face to face. I think the enthusiasm is for a hybrid model of a few days a week/month on site. That limits how far away people will base themselves by both time and travel costs.
Also, the covid experience of working from home has been abnormally quiet. As the economy starts up, so does traffic, building work, road work etc. Which will make home less conducive to conference calls or concentration.
And actually both are a good thing for people who want to stay employed, because if ones job really can be 100% remote, it very likely doesn't need a UK based person earning a UK salary.
