This is just BS, the civil service are still being told to work from home. This is to help out all those office owning, tory voting landlords in London who are concerned about their profits.
- 4rt 5y agoIn what way is it BS? The law that requires all people to work from home has gone. Employers can still, of course, require it. The civil service is one such employer.
- CommanderData 5y agoI would not be surprised if office Landlords are lobbying Tories to push for office work. Of all the corruption scandals recently, this would be the better of them.
- bidirectional 5y agoIs it corruption? Lobbying is legal and it is obviously in office landlord's interest to have people working in offices.
- bidirectional 5y agoThe City got barely any quieter pre/post this 'mandate'. It was basically ignored anyway. Also it's just a rollback to plan A which was in place for months, plan B was only in force since mid-December.
- CommanderData 5y agoThe occupancy rates in London even now are awful. Drive past during a workday on a bypass and see empty office floors that were once all occupied. Heck in West London the biggest office complex has 20-30% occupancy rates if that. The office at least as recent has been dead.
- bidirectional 5y agoOh yeah occupancy is not great, but a rollback to plan A will make little difference. Most firms are still operating an optional return to office policy and very few changed that as a result of the switch to plan B.
