We've had the technical ability to remote work for over 20 years. I was working at BT during the time they were trying to sell the concept of remote working to their customers whilst not enabling it for their own staff. Until companies get taxed for forcing bums on seats when it's not neccessary, they'll still force us to come in.Cooking doesn't get tougher than this. -

15 or 16 years ago I worked for BT Managed Network Services in Apsley, Hertfordshire; the other half of BT MNS worked at Euston. All day, every day, people shuttled back and forth up that railway line to attend meetings at the other site because we were not allowed to use the bleeding-edge teleconferencing suites installed at each office. Instead they were used only once per month by senior management and were kept locked the rest of the time.
