They said no to me working from home, it was fine 5 years ago when it suited them.
Even got the union involved.
It was suggested that bus driving wasnt for me any more.

In 20 years time there will be a skills gap.
You can't possibly learn all the skills you need to be a Manager from your coffee table. There needs to be balance

I tend to go in once or twice a week as required, boss likes to have Thursday as an "anchor day" where everyone in the team is in but the rest of time it's up to us.

Depends what you mean by kids MrB. I’ve got two kids that came through school well enough, both in good jobs, one has built her own house. She’s 28 now so maybe you’re talking younger.
I think the media will highlight the clickbait worthy stories but some kids will cope and some won’t and it always was so.

in twenty years time there will be a skills shortage because the kids coming through school now don't know how to look after themselves or do things for themselves, at all. It's far more concerning than any doom scares about WFH will bring.
In 20 years time AI robots will be doing it all (assuming we haven’t been wiped out by war) so I wouldn’t worry about it. Capitalism will have delivered Marxism with delicious irony.
+1, the transition will be bumpy but Fully Automated Luxury Communism will be unstoppable
