Examples of problems...
The logical response to this is that it's the employee's problem and 'tough luck', but it feels as though it's not as simple as that. It certainly does feel as though a lot of people have taken life by the balls and just thought 'sod it, I'll make it work' though.
Saying this as someone that's been deliberating what to do about a future house move for the last year and a bit with the intended location being fine for one day a week in the office (it's just over 2hrs door to desk), just about doable for two days but not practical at all if it's any more than that.
Doesn't help that there's no clear steer from anywhere on what the future holds, everyone's seemingly waiting for someone else to blink so that they can follow their lead!
This has happened too at my wife's work where there hasn't been effective communication between employer and employee. Examples of problems now surfacing include employees moving home to a distance where a daily commute is impractical and also purchase of a pet which cannot be left at home during the day. My experience is mainly in Manufacturing Engineering where WFH has been & is very limited so this situation is inconceivable! What do you think actual outcome will be?
