  • At the beginning of this year I moved in with my girlfriend who's got a flat near Wembly. I also quit my job and managed to find one within cycling commute distance so it's a nice 20-ish mins door to door. A massive change for me who's always lived in East London, only to find out almost everyone I work with has a massive commute, one even lives in Basildon, and they're all loving work from home and want it to be permanent.

    The politics will drive people back. People will get left out of decisions or miss opportunities. Not everyone will care, but the ones who do will feel they need to be present in person at least sometimes.

    This nails my expectations, I'm the only person on my team eligibile for 'full remote' - except my manager, who I imagine won't opt into it anyway. So while I fully intend to be at home for as long as possible, politics will definitely drag me back into the office a few days a week purely because of the rest of my team will get so much preferential treatment in numerous ways

    I am loving working from home but some of the team are hating it so they will be back as soon as they can which will lead to exactly what you are suggesting and will force me to go back, boo
