Higher utility bills are still cheaper than the cost of traveling to work for most people...!

The pandemic proved to companies etc with office staff is that you can run a business and keep staff and have them work from home.down the line companies will not lease the office space and save money and they will pay cheaper salary for benefit to work from home .it's the same as retail shops realising people will buy online rather than go to shops ..it's the start of the future way of office work for a lot of business

No point. They've taken away the dishwasher, tea urn and kettle from canteen and we got to bring a flask in.

Why do you still have the HSE covid banner on your videos? Clearly this has nothing to do with convid?
