Study in US shows one day a week of remote working cuts emissions by just 2% but two or four days lowers them by up to 29%

    Took me an hour to get to work, so now I get an extra hour and a half in bed as I get up at 9:30 for my 9am start.

        That’s someone properly refreshed, ready to do some quality work!

        3 day week, 4 hour day is doable, but my goodness would it cause wild upward pressure on wage levels…

        Wage inflation is not good apparently…

          So what they are saying is basically large companies have a ridiculous margin and can raise wages (but will not, unless unemployment rate is too low because efficiency) and small companies will go broke or loose all of their workers if bigger ones raise.

          That almost sounds like a systemic problem, ain’t it?

          Well if you think like this, it’s no wonder they are ending WFH.

            Not everyone can be a happy little robot in a suit. Some of us are normal people.
