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.

The latest research from The Global Payroll Association (GPA) reveals that 75% of people would turn down a job that doesn’t offer hybrid or remote working, while flexi working is also preferable to a four-day week.

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.

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.

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 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.

Current crop I mean... I'm sure there are exceptions to it as there always are, but I know so many people with 14/15 year olds and they're all making the same complaints about the kids... my boss has a 17/18 year old who just started to drive, she thought putting a wet USB lead into a USB port was a sensible thing to do, surprisingly the USB connection on her car now doesn't work very well anymore, but she didn't bother to tell her dad and left him trying all the usual things before he noticed wetness in the storage place the lead was from, then she admitted it... and went oh I didn't think it would matter...
