State of the Market

I disagree. WFH is good for some people. But I like being in an office and working. Some days when there was little to do, I could go for a longer run, attempt to chat up the PAs and engage with various other people.

I have met some brilliant people just at the kitchen or coffee machine. I once met a silver Olympic medalist whilst getting a coffee in the office. Guy was next level brilliant. I got back to my desk and googled him and he was everywhere on the internet, had his own Wikipedia page etc.

How can you meet people WFH?

Again, other skills which are important for life such as engaging with people. How is anyone supposed to learn how to chat anyone up these days?

I live in London, working in a London office in Mayfair, Marlebourne, Faringdon, is just awesome. Can go for a run on the river or in the parks.

Why would you want to be at home when the vista is so much better in an office? I mean, ok, it's more efficient, saves a great deal of time and cost commuting but that is just making everyone lazy and fat.

Why would you want to be lazy, fat and just collecting cash? Seems like you would be happy doing as little as possible whilst earning loads. Bizarre.

With respect Schumster, the CilentCos don't really care if you disagree, or if you have a pleasant place to run.
It's them driving the change in working practices for the most part.

I think it's all to the good.
I have some very longstanding and productive relationships with colleagues I've rarely even seen even on camera.

This is my favourite part. Such an advantage to being in the office and, my god, what a productivity gain. Looking forward to Schumi's memoirs to see what other personal and professional highlights will be in there.
